Better handling for bis

Open antoine-de opened this issue 6 years ago • 1 comments

For the moment the house_number is matched exactly (we don't want prefixes as we don't want 2 to match 28 )

It is fine but this makes some house number prefixes difficult to find.

for example for the house number 28 bis we need an exact match on this so 28b, 28 b, ... that might be valid user query won't match at all.

I think the problem is mainly for bis as I don't know if there are many short form for ter (and in some countries it's only one letter a, b, ...)

To handle this we could use add some (one :stuck_out_tongue: ) synonyms to the house_number field, and maybe a custom tokenizer for 28b to match 28 bis ?

What do you think of this ?

Note: the geocoder test that lead to this is 28b rue de la garrigue nimes (well with additional tokens, but that's not what is interesting here :wink: )

As we agreed together, we will add a synonym b for bis.
