I am being hesitant converting one of my string fields to an array field.
Is it possible to do a search like my_field:=\b254\b to match something like 253,254,270 to not match 2544,2540

If you set token_separators: [","] in the collection schema, then set prefix=false as a search parameter you should be able to do this
