Searching String Properties with Specific Conditions in Typesense
TLDR Serezha asked about searching string properties with strict conditions. Jason explained Typesense doesn't support endsWith search, but Kishore Nallan suggested using the `max_extra_suffix` parameter for infix searches for this purpose.

Fri, 17 Nov 2023 02:58:35 UTCSuffix search can be achieved via infix search by using the `max_extra_suffix` parameter which specify the maximum number of symbols after the query that can be present in the token. This can be set to `0` for pure suffix search. However note that infix search is useful only for single token searches. It's just too expensive to search all tokens against all records. There's no good way to do this.
