Description

hello, i don't know why but exact match and params dont seems to works together.

Reproduction

import { createClient, SchemaFieldTypes } from 'redis';
import { GenericContainer } from 'testcontainers';

(async () => {
  const redisClient = await new GenericContainer(
    'redis/redis-stack-server:7.2.0-RC1-arm64'
  )
    .withExposedPorts(6379)
    .start()
    .then((container) => {
      const client = createClient({ url: `redis://${container.getHost()}:${container.getMappedPort(6379)}` });
      client.on('end', async () => await container.stop());
      client.on('error', (err) => console.log('Redis Client Error', err));
      return client.connect().then(() => client);
    });
  
  await redisClient.json.set(`noderedis:users:0`, '$', {
    name: 'Alice Johnson',
    age: 32,
    coins: 100
  });

  await redisClient.ft.create('idx:users', {
    '$.name': {
      type: SchemaFieldTypes.TEXT,
      SORTABLE: 'UNF',
      AS: 'name'
    },
    '$.age': {
      type: SchemaFieldTypes.NUMERIC,
      AS: 'age'
    },
    '$.coins': {
      type: SchemaFieldTypes.NUMERIC,
      AS: 'coins'
    }
  }, {
    ON: 'JSON',
    PREFIX: 'noderedis:users'
  });

  console.log({
    // ✅ works: 1 result
    bare: await redisClient.ft.search('idx:users', '@name:"Alice Johnson"', { DIALECT: 2 }),
    // ✅ works: 1 result
    withParamsNumber: await redisClient.ft.search('idx:users', '@age:[$age $age]', { DIALECT: 2, PARAMS: { age: 32 } }),
    // ❌ no results
    withParamsExactMatch1: await redisClient.ft.search('idx:users', '@name:"$name"', { DIALECT: 2, PARAMS: { name: 'Alice Johnson' } }),
    // ❌ no results
    withParamsExactMatch2: await redisClient.ft.search('idx:users', '@name:$name', { DIALECT: 2, PARAMS: { name: '"Alice Johnson"' } }),
    // ✅ works: 1 result
    withParamsMatch: await redisClient.ft.search('idx:users', '@name:($name)', { DIALECT: 2, PARAMS: { name: 'Alice' } }),
  })

  await redisClient.disconnect();
})();

i just found an interesting clue:

while

redisClient.ft.search('idx:users', '@name:"$name"', { DIALECT: 2, PARAMS: { name: 'Alice Johnson' } })

does not work.

redisClient.ft.search('idx:users', '@name:"$name1 $name2"', { DIALECT: 2, PARAMS: { name1: 'Alice', name2: 'Johnson' } })

works.

same thing for other type of match:

redisClient.ft.search('idx:users', '@name:($name)', { DIALECT: 2, PARAMS: { name: 'Alice Johnson' } })

does not work.

redisClient.ft.search('idx:users', '@name:($name1 $name2)', { DIALECT: 2, PARAMS: { name1: 'Alice', name2: 'Johnson' } })

works.
