Wildcardsearch

[jume-dev]

Hi,
just a quick question, is it possible to do a wild card search on a text field? I have a simple test data structure of people with firstname, lastname and address. Firstname is mostly only one word and I wanted to search on word fragments, like for example if I had a Willy in my data, I wanted to search for illy and find him.
Is this possible yet and if so, how?
Best regards

Hi @jume-dev
I think what you are searching for is the Ngram tokenizer. It is not yet available in Quickwit but it should be here soon as we want to make tantivy tokenizers available in Quickwit.
In the meantime, you can try using tantivy, tantivy-cli is a good start.

Alright, thanks. I'm looking forward to trying that out once you have it ready :)
