Easy Search and accentFold? #541

Closed BrianJLennon closed 7 years ago

BrianJLennon commented 7 years ago

Hi,

Genuinely love the ease with which Easy Search works (Well done!) but have come across a stumbling block... If someone for example types in "cafe" and documents with the word "café"are not returned... how do I get around this?

Thanks in advance.

Brian

Hi Brian

This can be resolved by using a mature engine like ElasticSearch for searching or doing some processing when saving your mongodb documents and when searching:

Replace characters with accents like "é" with "e" in a separate field on your document
Adding a selectorPerField configuration that applies the same logic to the searchString

see "Searching user mails" here http://matteodem.github.io/meteor-easy-search/docs/recipes/
