Suffix searching relates to the process of matching a query string with the end of a word. Similarly, infix searching is matching a query string with part of a word. Here are some examples:
- Suffix match - matching the query ball with the word basketball.
- Infix match - matching the query part with the word compartment.
Suffix searches are not supported by default, but there are techniques you can use to help. This guide contains more information - https://www.algolia.com/doc/guides/managing-results/optimize-search-results/typo-tolerance/how-to/how-to-search-in-hyphenated-attributes/#suffix-search
