Hi, I am using slash-gql and string types have all the regular search terms and then they have both regexp and trigram. Can you explain what is the meaning of them and why they both there? I could only find an explanation on regexp in the docs under the search section

@regexp vs @trigram

No, trigram is internal to Dgraph. It’s a technique used to create index, by breaking up the string.

So all you need is: @search(by: [regexp]).
