full text search crashes
v2Belleville
I'm using fulltext search because despise having indexes on the properties I'm searching, I do not get auto completion.
and when trying fulltext search, I get errors like this one. It is all the more puzzling that apoc says the property is a string.
And it is blocking the search, which makes Bloom quite useless...

Hi, Thanks for your feedback. We're currently making significant updates to the Bloom Search functionality. If you're interested in trying the new Search experience, you can turn it on by activating "Experimental features" within Bloom's Settings panel, and then activating "Search experiment" in the Experimental Settings panel. I'd be curious to know whether you encounter the same error there?

Jeff Gagnon: Hi Jeff, in the meantime, I changed indexes type : instead of the default BTREE type I've build FULLTEXT indexes. I have not extensively used Bloom since, but for now it seems to have solved the problem.
Can you explain in what way the experimental Search functionality is different ? (I feel you get more out of a tool if you know what you can expect from it ...)
Jeff Gagnon
v2Belleville: The new search functionality is different in a couple of ways. It will tell you more clearly if the appropriate index isn't available to conduct a fulltext search, and also enables conditional queries on property values, as well as some changes to the guidance provided when building queries. We're still tweaking the experience though, and your feedback is most welcome.

thanks Jeff Gagnon: I'll try it (notification about which index is required sure is useful, I'm still struggling with figuring out which is useful for what ...;-}...)
