Has there been a change to behaviour of fuzzy match?

[cranknasty]

HI, I've been running some fuzzy searches using this package for about 6 months now and everything has been running okay until about 2 weeks ago.

My fuzzy searches have started returning 0 results. I can do a standard search using Search(a,b, q = 'something') and get plenty of results... but the fuzzy match is empty. Please help... Has anything changed in the package recently that could cause this change in behaviour?

Here's an example of the fuzzy search:

fuzz <- list(query = list(fuzzy = list( = "something aruther"))) Search(index = , type = , body = fuzz)

here's the standard search

Search(index = , type = , q = ": something aruther")

Your session info shows your using elastic from CRAN https://cran.rstudio.com/web/packages/elastic/ which hasn't been updated since last September, so I don't think it's a change in this pkg. Did you change your Elasticsearch version?

[cranknasty]

Thanks for the response. No there's been no update to our elastic server either. confounding.

using current version of elastic (install with remotes::install_github("ropensci/elastic")) on master, a fuzzy search works for me on one of the example datasets, running ES ver. v6.2.3. Does this work for you?

library(elastic)
shakespeare <- system.file("examples", "shakespeare_data_.json", package = "elastic")
invisible(docs_bulk(shakespeare))

fuzzy <- list(query = list(fuzzy = list(text_entry = list(value = "arms", fuzziness = 0))))
Search(index="shakespeare", body=fuzzy)$hits$total
#> [1] 37
fuzzy <- list(query = list(fuzzy = list(text_entry = list(value = "arms", fuzziness = 1))))
Search(index="shakespeare", body=fuzzy)$hits$total
#> [1] 49
fuzzy <- list(query = list(fuzzy = list(text_entry = list(value = "arms", fuzziness = 2))))
Search(index="shakespeare", body=fuzzy)$hits$total
#> [1] 617
