Michael McCandless commented on LUCENE-9365: -------------------------------------------- If that really fixes this corner case, then +1 to remove that minor optimization. Actually, +1 to remove the optimization entirely, even if it doesn't fix this corner case -- it's optimizing a rare corner case anyways, which is a bad tradeoff (added code complexity for rare gains). > Fuzzy query has a false negative when prefix length == search term length > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: LUCENE-9365 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-9365 > Project: Lucene - Core > Issue Type: Bug > Components: core/query/scoring > Reporter: Mark Harwood > Priority: Major > > When using FuzzyQuery the search string `bba` does not match doc value `bbab` > with an edit distance of 1 and prefix length of 3. > In FuzzyQuery an automaton is created for the "suffix" part of the search > string which in this case is an empty string. > In this scenario maybe the FuzzyQuery should rewrite to a WildcardQuery of > the following form : > {code:java} > searchString + "?" > {code} > .. where there's an appropriate number of ? characters according to the edit > distance. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: issues-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: issues-h...@lucene.apache.org
