Trouble with Document Search Function

TLDR Ivan had trouble searching for a specific document, but after various advice and adjustments by Jason & Kishore Nallan, they solved the issue via adding "exhaustive_search: true" to the query.

Hi Kishore Nallan Jason, we have search with num_typos:0, i am trying to find document with field: "bgh iv zr 164/15", when i type exact "bgh iv zr 164/15", i can found it, but when i type for example: "bgh iv zr 164" or "bgh iv zr 164/" it founds other matches. What is causing such behavior and how we can fix it?

Have you enabled prefix search by sending 'prefix: true' parameter?

No, we have preffix: false

Could you also set drop_tokens_threshold: 0, typo_tokens_threshold: 0

You need to set prefix to true for finding such prefix matches.

Hi Jason Kishore Nallan unfortunelly none of your advices helped, i set prefix to true and drop_tokens_threshold: 0, typo_tokens_threshold: 0
but still not found "bgh iv zr 164/15" when typed "bgh iv zr 164", is there any other possible reason?

Can you provide a sample dataset and query that exhibits this issue? So we can exactly reproduce the issue.

Kishore Nallan no longer needed, we added to query "exhaustive_search: true", and now it works correctly🙂
