This is the default typo tolerance kicking-in. You can control this behavior using the num_typos, min_len_1typo, min_len_2typo and typo_tokens_threshold parameters: https://typesense.org/docs/0.24.1/api/search.html#typo-tolerance-parameters

If you want to turn off typo tolerance, you want to set num_typos: 0 and typo_tokens_threshold: 0
