12:28 PMDoes anyone know the best way to understand faster why some search term wasn’t matched with some documents.
I know that experience in the parameters is the best, but we are still learning all the parameters

12:32 PMI have matches, but still don’t understand what we need to tweak in order to solve:
Search tearm: “fuji máquina”
Against: máquina Fujifilm
Kishore Nallan
12:37 PMmáquina fuji will match and not the other way. You can create a synonym here for mapping fuji to fujifilmThe reason why we do prefix searching on only the last word is that, otherwise the search results can become quite noisy.
