Summary

It seems that usernames that are numbers, or begin with numbers, do not appear in search. REF: https://www.minds.com/newsfeed/1003716877810827264

Steps to reproduce

Search "1085243" in the top search bar. Observe ES does not find the user.

Platform information

Cross-platform

What is the current bug behavior?

ElasticSearch is not weighting numerical names appropriately.

What is the expected correct behavior?

The name should appear when typed in.

Relevant logs and/or screenshots

Possible fixes

I'm presuming something needs tweaking at an ElasticSearch level.

We've currently got the suggest field of user mapped like this in the minds_badger mapping

"suggest": {
            "type": "completion",
            "analyzer": "simple",
            "preserve_separators": true,
            "preserve_position_increments": true,
            "max_input_length": 50
          },

Based on this thread It looks like the simple anaylyzer strips the number from the token. This is indeed the case looking at the returned query.

Based on this, we are going to have to make a change to the mappings to change the analyzer to a different one; probably standard will work fine.

Had to nuke my local, as I couldn't get Dockerfile changes to stick for elasticsearch, currently it is down. Tried nuking and using older minds/minds commits but that gets nowhere. Looks like some issues in the comms between server and angular.

If this is being abandoned until &126, I think this particular issue can be solved simply by changing the user suggestions analyzer to a standard analyzer rather than the simple analyzer, which strips out numbers.
