Did you add the field in the schema when you created the collection?

No, I follow auto schema detection.

Is address an object field? If so you should enable nested field at the collection level with this option:

"enable_nested_fields": true

i create auto schema
so when i insert data in the typesense
it does not created new field with hash object (address)

Can you post the code that creates the schema?

V

01:29 PM

address_schema =
      {
        'name' => 'address',
        'fields' => [
          { 'name' => '.*', 'type' => 'auto' }

        ]
      }
    Typesense::Base.new.client.collections.create(address_schema)

Yeah, so it must be like this:

{
        'name' => 'address',
        'enable_nested_fields' => True,
        'fields' => [
          { 'name' => '.*', 'type' => 'auto' }

        ]
      }

If you don't provide enable_nested_fields -> the object field won't be searchable.
