Fix user's search query when proximity search has a space #2965

Open mlissner opened 1 year ago

mlissner commented 1 year ago

If a user does this:

"my phrase" ~7

They meant to do this:

"my phrase"~7

Fix that for them. This could be done on the back end only, but I'm a fan of fixing queries and returning the fixed query to the user.

Should we fix the query here and only display the corrected version in the search box. Or should we preserve the original query in the search box and simply notify users about the corrected query used to return results, similar to how we handle missing citations?

We should just fix it for them and we don't even need to tell them we did.
