MatchType

Classification of how a query matched an item.

Derived from the matched character positions:

  • Exact: all positions consecutive from index 0, covering every character in the item.
  • Prefix: all positions consecutive from index 0, but the item is longer.
  • Contains: all positions consecutive (a substring match), not starting at 0.
  • Fuzzy: positions have gaps (character-level fuzzy match).
