minWordSizefor1Typo

Minimum number of characters in a query word before allowing one typo

• Type: integer
• Default: 4
• Scope: settings,search
• Deprecated name: minWordSizeForApprox1

The minWordSizefor1Typo parameter sets the minimum length a query word must have before Algolia allows one typo in that word. Query words shorter than this setting must match exactly.

Lowering this setting can lead to more matches, but might include more irrelevant results for short queries. To learn more, see Configure typo tolerance word size.
