Understanding search API matching logic in autocomplete use cases

[metalaureate]

Thanks for this module - very useful. I need to understand why the search API behaves a certain way. I'm using .search with no type key, to provide auto-complete functionality.

   freebase.search(term, {  key: nconf.get('google_api_key')}, function (result) { });

"social ident" matches nothing "social identity" matches a bunch of things

In the autocomplete scenario, I need social ident to also match social identity. This is how the search box works on freebase.org.

Could you give me some pointers on why it behaves this way, and how to make it behave the way I want?

Yours gratefully.

hi simon, thanks! this'll work

var freebase=require("freebase")
freebase.search("social ident", {key:"mykey", prefixed:true}, function(r){
  console.log(JSON.stringify(r, null, 2));
})

https://developers.google.com/freebase/v1/search maybe this should be a defined method cheers
