auto substitute (as option) letters in first letter/main letter search

[ManjotS]

all the pair bindis should be found with normal letters

[ManjotS]

open oora with normal

[ManjotS]

@tarunsingh5 can you create a mapping of this for me?

ie ਸ => ਸ਼

[ManjotS]

but in ascii not unicode

[tarunsingh5]

should this be done in the api or should this be done in the app? for example w/ khakha we did this in the app

[ManjotS]

this should have been done in the api

so i actually think it should be done in the app b/c the user should have the option to use the fuzzy mapping or not and we should keep the api as explicit as possible

@navdeepsinghkhalsa thoughts?

[ManjotS]

agree @tarunsingh5 (lets add the fuzzy ticket to sttm-web and close this)

This one is high priority - I have to type in pairi KHAKHA to get KHALSA MERO ROOP HAI KHAAS. A regular KHAKHA should also find this. Same for other bindhi characters.

[ManjotS]

The substitution itself should be part of anvaad, so web can just include anvaad. It may have already been implemented. Good question for irvanjit singh.

[irvanjitsingh]

There's a few optional flags for this implemented in the firstLetter and mainLetter functions. Documented on the anvaad readme @ManjotS @saintsoldierx

[saintsoldierx]

Would love it if we can get this one done too @gsin11

https://github.com/KhalisFoundation/anvaad-js for the readme

[saintsoldierx]

For this, we would want those pehar bindhi akhars to show only if searching in Gurmukhi and only is searching full words. Not first letter. The other thing is if someone types any of those characters with a pehar bindhi, such as ਸ then it should also seatch ਸ਼. Goes for all 5 letters.

[irvanjitsingh]

@saintsoldierx if that's the intended usecase, then firstLetter/mainLetter columns should be regenerated with the 'simplify' flag enabled in anvaad. this will replace all ਸ਼ with ਸ, etc. Since full word search doesn't use the firstLetter or mainLetter columns, it would be unaffected and searching for ਸ would give ਸ and ਸ਼ would give ਸ਼. Also, note that regenerating firstLetter's with the flag is only one part, the query string would also require the same logic to be applied to replace characters. This can be added in anvaad as well or implemented in sttm.

[saintsoldierx]

@ManjotS something you can take up? If this can be done using simplify flag, then let's do it at Anvaad level?

[gurjit03]

@ManjotS @saintsoldierx We wants to continue with this ?

Yes, it's been outstanding for a while
