Fuzzy Search - Last part of string

[oliverbj]

Hi there

First of all - great package! Really appreciate all the work that has gone into this.

I have a problem, where I cannot search for the last part of a string. Consider these (real examples):

User table: name | e-mail

Oliver Jensen | [email protected] Andranik Jaheo | [email protected]

When I search for strings like Oli, Oliv, Jensen it works. I get the first result. However, when I search for example busk or badalyan - which are both part of the e-mail - I do not get any results.

- [X] Laravel 5.6

This is my config:

'tntsearch' => [
        'storage' => storage_path(), //place where the index files will be stored
        'fuzziness' => env('TNTSEARCH_FUZZINESS', true),
        'fuzzy' => [
            'prefix_length' => 2,
            'max_expansions' => 50,
            'distance' => 20
        ],
        'asYouType' => false,
        'searchBoolean' => env('TNTSEARCH_BOOLEAN', false),
    ],

I think you need to add ngrams to search in parts of words.

You need something like this in the toSearchableArray() method:

        $array['ngrams'] = utf8_encode((new TNTIndexer)->buildTrigrams($this->email));

I read myself about this in a tutorial - I think this one: https://github.com/teamtnt/tutorials/blob/master/Did%20you%20mean%20functionality%20with%20Laravel%20Scout.md
