  • Type: integer
  • Default: 8
  • Scope: settings,search
  • Deprecated name: minWordSizeForApprox2
The minWordSizefor2Typos parameter sets the minimum length a query word must have before Algolia allows two typos in that word. Query words shorter than this setting can only have up to one typo. 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.
