Can we disable fuzziness ?

[thedevvikas]

Hi there ,
I want to get the results from elastic search that exactly matches the search query. I am not able to figure out a way to remove fuzziness from the payload ("fuzziness": "AUTO:4,8"). Is there a way to remove fuzziness OR other way to achieve the desired result?

If there are any issues in the payload, please point that out as well.

Sample payload:

const payload =  {
  "aggs": {
    "is_deleted": {
      "terms": {
        "field": "is_deleted",
        "size": 10
      }
    },
    "status": {
      "terms": {
        "field": "status.keyword",
        "size": 10
      }
    },
    "type": {
      "terms": {
        "field": "type.keyword",
        "size": 10
      }
    },
    "lob": {
      "terms": {
        "field": "lob.keyword",
        "size": 10
      }
    },
    "visibility": {
      "terms": {
        "field": "visibility.keyword",
        "size": 10
      }
    }
  },
  "query": {
    "bool": {
      "filter": [
        {
          "bool": {
            "should": [

                }
              }
            ]
          }
        }

Hey there,

You cant disable fuzziness but you can override the default query thats used via getQuery. This is what the default query function does.

In the future, I would like to expose it so that you can do the following:

import { RelevanceMatch } from "searchkit"
import Client from "@searchkit/api";
 
const client = Client({ ... })

export default async function handler(
  req: NextApiRequest,
  res: NextApiResponse
) {

  const results = await client.handleRequest(req.body, {
    getQuery: RelevanceMatch({ fuzziness: false })
  });

  res.send(results);

}

happy to accept PRs for this change too!
