Hi Has anything changed regarding synoym matching in 29? I only see this in the release notes:

Improved synonym matching when multiple synonym definitions match a given search query

It seems like it now matches synonyms on prefixes as well. Example. q: "test" Synonyms: ["testperson", "black"] In 28 the query would get no hits. In 29 we get hits on "black"

It's enabled only if you set

synonym_prefix: true

-- it's disabled by default.

OK - thanks. Weird though. Exact same queries fired against indexes with same data yield results similar to above

If you can reproduce this on a small stand-alone collection, please post a reproducible snippet.

@Kishore Nallan Can you elaborate on this synonym_prefix feature. What does it do? to me it seems like if q:"ab" it will use synonym "abc" as part of the search, in both v28 and v29 even though you leave out "synonym_prefix" in query

synonym_prefix

flag is disabled by default so the behavior you describe (

ab

matching

abc

) should not occur unless there is a bug. Can you please share a small reproducible example? @Nicholas Tjørnelund

@Kishore Nallan Follow readme inside this

Thanks, will check.

Let me know what you find

Yes will be looking into it this week. Will update.

@Kishore Nallan hey, what did you find?

Sorry still on our list. Some things came up which ended up filling up our time last week.

alrighty thank you

We've produced the issue and also have a patch ready. Will be testing, merging and creating a new build with the fix. I will post an update when it's ready. Thank you for raising this!
