Searching for numbers

When I search for a field which contains a number, the result is an empty array, I feel that there must be a very clear point that I am missing, could you explain the behaviour? Thank you very much.

const test = [
  {
    data: {
      id: 0,
      name: "foo",
      val: 1
    }
  },
  {
    data: {
      id: 1,
      name: "bar",
      val: 2
    }
  }
]

 const index = new FlexSearch({
    async: true,
    doc: {
      id: "data:id",
      field: ["data:name", "data:val"]
    }
  });

  index.add(test);

  index
    .search(1, {
      field: "data:val"
    })
    .then(result => {
      console.log(result);
//returns empty array
    });
  index
    .search("bar", {
      field: "data:name"
    })
    .then(result => {
      console.log(result);
//returns the object it found
    });

@maazkabir Sorry for replying 6 months later. I did not find a solution so I switched to Fuse.Js.

Please use a custom “encode” function which allows special chars like “.” or “/”
