Apparently this feature was present in MeiliSearch for about two weeks around one year ago. Unfortunately it was a that time that I made the movie gif that we use a lot.

Changing this gif becomes a high priority as it does not reflect reality.

I always thought that we didn't support typos on the first letter of a word, or do they count as 2 typos? @Kerollmops

We don't support typos on the first letter for performance reason, yeah. Maybe this isn't documented?

Could we close this one and recreate one about typos on the first letter of a word?
