Hi Sumit, I think you should use edge ngrams: > **[Elasticsearch Platform — Find real-time answers at scale](https://www.elastic.co)** > > Power insights and outcomes with the Elasticsearch Platform and AI.

[http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/index-modules/analysis/edgengram-tokenfilter.html](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/index-modules/analysis/edgengram-tokenfilter.html) And/Or synonyms: > **[Elasticsearch Platform — Find real-time answers at scale](https://www.elastic.co)** > > Power insights and outcomes with the Elasticsearch Platform and AI.

[http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/index-modules/analysis/synonym-tokenfilter.html](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/index-modules/analysis/synonym-tokenfilter.html) So search for sumit (sum) will hit docs containing sumeet (sum) but with a lesser score than docs with sumit. My 2 cents HTH David.

Sumit, We have had success using the phonetic token filter too: > **[Elasticsearch Platform — Find real-time answers at scale](https://www.elastic.co)** > > Power insights and outcomes with the Elasticsearch Platform and AI. See into your data and find answers that matter with enterprise solutions designed to help you build, observe, and protect. Try Elasticsearch free today. This will mean that a search for "sumit" could match a record which was "sumit" or the phonetically equivalent word "sumeet".
