Hi. I have a collection of documents with some string attributes. This collection have a few similar full-text indexes on these attributes. I have also created one more full-text index for the indernal $id attribute.

Search over $id works differently. It only returns documents when there is a startsWith-like match. E.g. the given document with $id 12345 will be returned for the search values '12345', '123', but not for the '2345'. Is that expected?

TL;DR
The user is asking about full text search on the $id attribute in a collection of documents. They have noticed that the search only returns documents when there is a "startsWith-like" match, meaning that only values that begin with the search term are returned. They are asking if this behavior is expected. Solution: The user is directed to refer to a link for more details about how search works. It is also suggested that this information should be included on the documentation page.

Yes, this is expected. See https://github.com/appwrite/appwrite/discussions/5005#discussioncomment-4681079 for details about how search works.

You're right, got it. Thanks for the hint. Worth to mention on the https://appwrite.io/docs/products/databases/queries page, probably.
