08:16 AMI want to search by multiple word or words. Means I want OR query by a single search of a collection (where operation like feildName ="value" or feildName = "value2")
For example,
my search keyword is ''plastic bottle"
q :- documentFeild = "plastic" or documentFeild = "bottle"
query_by :- documentFeildExpected result (documents) :-
1.plastic bottle
2.plastic bag
3.water bottle

drop_tokens_threshold.So if you increase
drop_tokens_threshold: 10000 then you should see more results with different keywords dropped.Sep 04, 2023 (3 months ago)
