documentation for how to configure min_gram, max_gram about searchkick HOT 7 CLOSED

Can you explain more about what you use it for?

The goal of Searchkick is to abstract the Elasticsearch API, whereas Tire mirrors it.

from searchkick.

Basically, we have to be able to do 3 character searches. Example: I made a sample app with Books and Authors. The title of one book was Huckleberry Finn. When I do Book.search('Fin') I get 0 matches. But when I do Book.search('Finn'), I get one match.

In the tire readme, I see that I can adjust the ngram settings. I'm not entirely sure if this is relevant to the length of my search query though?

    class URL < ActiveRecord::Base
      include Tire::Model::Search
      include Tire::Model::Callbacks

      settings :number_of_shards => 1,
               :number_of_replicas => 1,
               :analysis => {
                 :filter => {
                   :url_ngram  => {
                     "type"     => "nGram",
                     "max_gram" => 5,
                     "min_gram" => 3 }
                 }
               } do
      end
    end

Searchkick should match any queries with an edit distance of one. In this case, the word is short, so it's not working as intended. I'll see what I can do to address this.

from searchkick.

Master should now match "fin" => "Finn" and all other situations where edit distance = 1. a73fbe4 This is different from partial word matching, which also needs addressed.

from searchkick.

Would it be possible to be able to set the distance to a larger number so I'm able to match words like "AAABBB" and "AAABCC" (2 or more?)
