Fuzzy search same model, but different fields

[pinguluk]

Hi.

I have and model named Article that contains the tilte and content .

let mongoose = require('mongoose');
let Schema = mongoose.Schema;  
var mongoose_fuzzy_searching = require('mongoose-fuzzy-searching');

var ArticleSchema = new Schema({
    title: {
        type: String,
    },
   content: {
        type: String,
    },
})

module.exports = mongoose.model('Article', ArticleSchema);

The model is exported and used in another .js.
How can I fuzzy search the title and content separately, without declaring

ArticleSchema.plugin(mongoose_fuzzy_searching, {fields: ['title', 'content']});

in the model schema file?

I want to have 2 functions that search articles one by the title, and the other one by the content, separately.

If I put the

ArticleSchema.plugin(mongoose_fuzzy_searching, {fields: ['title', 'content']});

then my both functions will use title and content for the fuzzy search.

Can I achieve something like this?

function a() {
    ArticleSchema.plugin(mongoose_fuzzy_searching, {fields: ['title']});
    fuzzySearch();
}

function b() {
    ArticleSchema.plugin(mongoose_fuzzy_searching, {fields: ['content']});
    fuzzySearch();
}

Hi, this is not possible, but even if it was, I wasn't suggested you to use fuzzy search in big strings. Even better if you set as searchable column only the title, the results will be more accurate.

But this is a very nice idea though, I will add it on the backlog.

@VassilisPallas did you have time to do this?

[evgeniy-skakun]

try this https://github.com/evgeniy-skakun/mongoose-fuzzy-searching, there is a search for specific fields

User.fuzzySearch({ query: 'jo', prefixOnly: true, fields: ['firstName'] })
  .then(console.log)
  .catch(console.error);

Does the fuzzysearch() look into all the fuzzy fields for matching input string, in my case even through both firstName, lastName mentioned as fuzzy fields the search occur only on the firstName, but for lastName only the extract match works

// schema
const UserSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
firstName: String,
lastName: String,
email: String,
age: Number,
})

UserSchema.plugin(mongoose_fuzzy_searching, { fields: ['firstName', 'lastName'] })
User = mongoose.model('User', UserSchema)

// insert
await insert({ firstName: 'Joe', lastName: 'Doe', email: 'joe.doe@mail.com', age: 30 })

// search
const users = await User.fuzzySearch({ query: 'do', prefixOnly: true, fields: ['lastName'] })

output: []

const users = await User.fuzzySearch({ query: 'doe', prefixOnly: true, fields: ['lastName'] })

output: [{ _id: 609f6e9d7fd01b5b260b24ef,
firstName: 'Joe',
lastName: 'Doe',
email: 'joe.doe@mail.com',
age: 30,
__v: 0,

so if I have
const Post = PostSchema.plugin(mongoose_fuzzy_searching, {fields: ['start', 'end']})

and then, without fuzzy search, I would search like this:
Post.find({ start: "abc", end: "def, })

With this package, there will not be a way to fuzzy search different strings for each of the fields "start" and "end"?
