Hi there,

I have a setup with different types of product numbers, like:

2030556
EB20356KL
FB12345

We'd like to be able to offer partial match search so EB203, 20356KL would find the middle product and 20356 would find the first and second.

Can that be done? I enabled ContainsExtended on the query (understanding the performance issues) but I am not getting the results I am after.

Imar

Maybe you are doing it wrong?

 

Remember that you have 2 places to change if you are in a Swift implemenation:

eq parameter is for typeahead, q is for the actual search

Oops - wrong yellow marker. Should be on the "Productnumber_search" field!

Oh, I was doing it wrong indeed. Or at least somewhat. It's an old Rapido site and I had set product number to ContainsExtended. But by setting Free text to ContainsExtended, it started to work:

 

Not sure why it didn't work on number only. Maybe because it's not analyzed?

It should not be related to if the field is analyzed or not - my example was not analyzed.
