v1.15 introduces a new typo tolerance setting, typoTolerance.disableOnNumbers. When set to true, queries with numbers only return exact matches.

Deactivating the typo tolerance on numbers can be useful when trying to reduce false positives, such as a query term 2024 returning results that include 2025 and 2004. It may also improve indexing performance.

Tasks

• Update /reference/api/settings#typo-tolerance
• Update /learn/relevancy/typo_tolerance_settings
