Does 'Suggests' work with a one-character input query?

[Justin A]

Hi :)

I'm trying to tweak my code that leverages the Suggest() feature/keyword.

var suggestedResults = await asyncDocumentSession

                            .Query<Foo_Bar.Result, Foo_Bar>()

                            .SuggestAsync(new SuggestionQuery

                            {

                                Field = "NameOrTag",

                                Term = modifiedQuery,

                                MaxSuggestions = take

                            }).ConfigureAwait(false);

ModifiedQuery | Results   | ResultCount

----------------------------------------

ke*           | keys      | 1

ke            | sky, keys | 2

keeeys*       | keys      | 1  // Typo - and correct answer!

k*            | null      | 0

3*            | null      | 0

3             | null      | 0

I was expecting the bottom results to have multiple results. Not zero/null.

Is my problem that I'm using a '*' in the `Term`? I thought that wildcard applies at all times?

I'm trying to ask RavenDb/lucene for anything it thinks might be a suggested word (as opposed to 'starts with'). I can't use starts with (at this point) because of typo's in the word .. which is why Suggests is a great helper.

-just me-

Can you please share your Query and Index definition?

Suggest isn't using wildcards like this.

Try it without the wildcard, and I'm pretty sure it wouldn't work. Suggestions don't work based on prefix, but based on distance.

For example, on your dataset, "deys" will find keys.

But the key here is that "k" and "keys" are quite far apart, so it is filtered, probably
