Hi,
What would be the best fieldtype for a persons name? at the moment I'm
using text_general but, if I search for bob smith, some results I get back
might be rob thomas. In that it's matched 'ob'.
But I only really want results that are either
'bob smith'
'bob, smith'
'smith, bob'
'smith bob'
A search for bob smith could only match rob thomas if the fieldtype
includes the edge ngram filter, or if you do a fuzzy term search, or if
the fieldtype includes a stemming filter that turns bob, robert, and rob
into the same root word. Eliminate all those things and it should work
like you expect.
Thanks,
Shawn
