Typesense

This release contains new features, performance improvements and important bug fixes.

New Features

- Geosearch: Use the geopoint data type to index locations, filter and sort on them. We support filtering on records within a given radius and as well as within any arbitrarily defined geo polygon.
- Wrap literal strings in filter_by values using backticks to ensure that the commas in filter values don't get parsed as a list separator. Example: filter_by: primary_artist_name:=[`Apple, Inc.`]
- Support exclude / not equals operator for filtering string and boolean facets. Example: filter_by=author:!= JK Rowling
- Ability to turn off prefix search on a per field basis. For example, if you are querying 3 fields and want to enable prefix searching only on the first field, use `?prefix=true,false,false`. The order should match the order in `query_by`.
- Ability to turn off typo tolerance on a per field basis. For example, if you are querying 3 fields and want to disable typo tolerance on the first field, use `?num_typos=0,2,2`. The order should match the order in `query_by`.
- You can now highlight fields that you don't query for. Use ?highlight_fields=title to specify a custom list of fields that should be highlighted.
- Add `filter_by`, `include_fields` and `exclude_fields` options to documents/export endpoint.

Enhancements

- Increased maximum supported length of HTTP query string to 4K characters: if you wish to send larger payloads, use the multi-search end-point.
- Accept null values for optional fields.
- Support for indexing pre-segmented text: you can now index content from any logographic language into Typesense if you are able to segment / split the text into space-separated words yourself before indexing and querying. You should also set `?pre_segmented_query=true` during searching.
- If you have some overrides defined but want to disable all of them during query time, you can now do that by setting `?enable_overrides=false.`

Bug Fixes

- Fixed some edge cases with typo correction not finding the correct matches
- Ensure that exact matches are ranked above others. Set `?prioritize_exact_match=false` to disable this behavior.
- Fixed `collections:*` API key permission which was not previously being recognized by the authentication engine.
- Fixed float facets being displayed with imprecise precision when displayed as string.

Deprecations

- There is a change in the upsert behavior to conform to existing popular conventions: The upsert action now requires the whole document to be sent for indexing. If you wish to update part of a document, use the update action.

This release contains new features, significant performance improvements and important bug fixes.

New Features

- Auto schema detection: you can now index documents without a pre-defined schema
- Data validation during indexing: configure Typesense to coerce, reject or drop bad values
- Concurrency improvements: utilize all CPU cores and scale to hundreds of thousands of collections

Enhancements

- Default sorting field is now optional: when not present, text match score and insertion order are used
- Allow custom key value to be provided [during creation of API keys](https://github.com/typesense/typesense/issues/244)
- Faster parallel loading of collections on cold start
- Ensure that all queried fields are highlighted in search response
- Reduction in memory consumption of facet fields
- Validate SSL certificate and key before loading SSL certs from disk

Bug Fixes

- Fixed exact matches [ranking below matches with typos](https://github.com/typesense/typesense/issues/243)
- Fixed a bug in [filtering of string fields](https://github.com/typesense/typesense/issues/254)
- Fixed an edge case involving [scoped API keys and embedded filters](https://github.com/typesense/typesense/issues/263) working with multi-search end-point
- Fixed an edge case involving filtering on negative integers
- Fixed an issue related to [range filter](https://github.com/typesense/typesense/issues/210)
- Fixed a crash while parsing certain rare + long query string parameters
- Fixed collection with [`null` value crashing Typesense](https://github.com/typesense/typesense/issues/251)
- Fixed a crash when a snapshot was taken on an empty DB but right after a key is created

Deprecations

- The `catch-up-min-sequence-diff` and `catch-up-threshold-percentage` flags that are used for determining the
catch up status of a follower, are replaced with `healthy-read-lag` and `healthy-write-lag`
[flags](./guide/configure-typesense.mdusing-command-line-arguments).
