Tuning search parameters

[PeWu]

Hi,

I'm having trouble tuning the search parameters. I'm trying to replace the search function in Topola Viewer with fuse.js. The search is over people's names. I tried indexing a person's name as 'firstname lastname' and ['firstname', 'lastname'] and both lead to unexpected results. Ideally, I wanted to be able to search for name prefixes, e.g. searching for tom woz would match tomasz wozniak.

See this code sample for my examples: https://stackblitz.com/edit/typescript-y8hfkk?file=index.ts

In short, case 1 indexes:

const list = [
  { name: ['tomasz', 'wozniak'] },
  { name: ['dominik', 'wozniak'] },
];

and the search for tom wozniak matches dominik wozniak first.

Case 2 indexes:

const list = [
  { name: 'tomasz wozniak' },
  { name: 'igor wozniak' }
];

and the search for tom wozniak matches igor wozniak first.

Please help me tweak the indexing and search options. Or am I doing something wrong?

I would recommend you first transform your search list, separating the names into individual properties:

const list = [
  { first: 'tomasz', lastName: 'wozniak' },
  { first: 'dominik', lastName: 'wozniak' }
];
