How to use the different parts of the API?

Is it possible to do stuff like this, @fergiemcdowall :

• autocomplete on several words (matching on two, three or more words, meaning this needs to be indexed too)
• number of results
• only show a subset (i.e. 10 of 273)
• filter on more than just one word
• add an arary in an object and be able to filter on one item in that array
• show what is available to filter on
• delete everything in the index

I was thinking if I could get some hint on what is possible now and in what direction I need to check, I could do some testing myself. And make it easily available in the [norch-vue](https://github.com/eklem/norch-vue)

update march 2021:

autocomplete on several words (matching on two, three or more words, meaning this needs to be indexed too)

• This requires ngrams, which will be fixed in an upcoming release

number of results

• Total number of results is now shown in resultset

only show a subset (i.e. 10 of 273)

• You can use the PAGE functionality

filter on more than just one word

• This is now possible

add an arary in an object and be able to filter on one item in that array

• This is now possible

show what is available to filter on

• see FIELDS

delete everything in the index

• see FLUSH

1. autocomplete on several words (matching on two, three or more words, meaning this needs to be indexed too)
   

You would need to index your stuff with n-grams I think

1. number of results
   

Working on this!

1. only show a subset (i.e. 10 of 273)
   

You can use limit and offset

1. filter on more than just one word
   

You can use as many words as you want to filter a result. If you tell me your use case I can give you the wuery

1. add an arary in an object and be able to filter on one item in that array
   

Yes, you can do this

1. show what is available to filter on
   

No, since you can now filter on anything/everything, there is no way to get up a list of “filterable” fields

1. delete everything in the index
   

At the moment you have to manually delete the index. A flush command might be nice to have though…
