Facing some issues with ignore_non_words

[AnandDev8]

Hi,

I am currently working on a chat bot use case where i found symspellpy very useful but i am facing some issues with "ignore_non_words" parameter of lookup_compound.
I need a specific pattern like an account no xx004453 to be ignored by spell checker and it kinda of works as well.

My regex is made to satisfy patterns like starts with 2 or 3 alphabets and then numbers or hyphens.

My issue is as follows

• je3453 -> jeff hi (it is converting these numbers)[Happens to small numbers only like xx123]
• xx1234-5678-1234 -> xx1234 5678 1234 (all the '-' are removed)

How to solve these issue ?

ignore_non_words is a boolean flag, regex is used for ignore_token which is available for lookup and word_segmentation. In your case, could you do some preprocessing and filter out the words which match your regex pattern before feed them into symspellpy?
