'Abbreviation Matching' for CamelCase Records, is it possible?

[kronaemmanuel]

I have records with titles like beforeCellEdit in my indexes. I’d like to search using abbreviated terms (e.g., be ce ed) and have them match. Ideally it would also work if the order is slightly wrong like: ce ed be. What strategies can I use to achieve this behavior?

There can be only one word that matches a prefix in Algolia to prevent matches that aren't explainable to the user. However there's a couple things you can do:

• https://www.algolia.com/doc/api-reference/api-parameters/camelCaseAttributes/ setting this attribute will split the words along the camel case boundary
• creating your own prefixes and indexing them, so fro the beforeCellEdit record, you can add another searchable attribute that you rank lower than the regular name, with the split values: values: ['bce', 'be ce ed', 'ce ed be', 'bef cel ed'] with the most common ways of spelling it.

I recommend to not overdo it as you'll likely have a lot of overlapping values and the search will become hard to use
