If I try searching for "Ninjalala", the correct anime shows up among others. But if I try "Nijala" (missing n), only the correct animes show up:

@Prid13 which one should be the first hit? Ninjala TV or the Ninjala ONA?

[Prid13]

@pushrbx personally I would expect Ninjala TV since it's a full-fledged anime with 20-minute episodes and ongoing with 70+ episodes, while the ONA was a promo tie-in for the game of the same name (despite airing first).

But honestly it doesn't really matter which is first. The main issue was not getting any relevant searches when searching for "Ninjala" 😅

I should have said that I fixed this issue on my end today and I wanted to have a more accurate acceptance criteria to sign this off.

@pushrbx sorry, my bad 😅 Ninjala TV should be first in my personal opinion (I have not watched these animes).

@pushrbx not sure if you've only fixed this one edge case or most edge cases with similar "issues", because I found another one. Try searching for "persona". Literally everything other than the Persona series show up 😅

If I add a number after the keyword, the correct entries show up, e.g. "Persona 5".

But like Ninjala, if you remove any one letter, like "prsona", you get the correct results:

[pushrbx]

On my end with the fixes im working on: currently if I look for "Persona" it works as expected. However with "prsona" I get nothing, which is a bit odd... Because that means that the typo correction doesn't work with that term for some reason.

[pushrbx]

Somewhat fixed in #409 , however it's not yet deployed to prod.

can we please reopen? Search terms such as "Girls & Panzer" do not show up with the correct searching

However with "prsona" I get nothing, which is a bit odd... Because that means that the typo correction doesn't work with that term for some reason.

"prsona" still isn't working in the new version 😅 otoh, "perona" works.

Thanks for all the hard work btw, immensely appreciate it ⭐

prsona will not work, that's entirely a question for typesense dev team, I don't think we can fix it on our end until we understand how we can tune typesense for anime/manga titles. :smile_cat:
