Query words with double spaces about highlight-words

[Geksanit]

expected result is the same as with one space

Hi @Geksanit! Nice catch! I'm not sure though if it should be the expected result. I think prepping the query should be in the hands of the consumer, otherwise we might end up stripping things we're not supposed to from the query.

You raise a good question though...what should the expected result then be? I'm not sure, so I'll have a think.

Hi @tricinel Perhaps the query should be an array of string?

Definitely not! I don't see how that would help. I think I have it sorted though.

1. If the query contains more than one space in the middle, we will strip it. So over the and over the with more than 2 spaces in between all are equivalent to searching for (over|the).
2. If the consumer specifically wants the double space, they can pass matchExactly: true as before. We don't strip multiple spaces then.
3. If the consumer wants to highlight individual words and however many spaces, then they can pass a regexp directly in the query. Something like /(\w+)|\s{2,}/ - which will highlight all words and at least two consecutive spaces.

I'm not sure if this is a breaking change. If anything, it was a bug before.
