allowTyposOnNumericTokens

Whether to allow typos in numbers

• Type: boolean
• Default: true
• Scope: settings,search

The allowTyposOnNumericTokens parameter controls whether Algolia applies typo tolerance to numbers.

Allowing typos can broaden results but may lead to irrelevant matches. Turning typo tolerance off on numbers helps enforce precision, especially for data like:

• Postal or product codes
• Identifiers
• Phone numbers

For more information, see typo tolerance and numbers.
