Mongo nGram vs edgeGram

Core Structural Difference

To see how they differ, let’s break down the word "mongo" using a minimum gram size of 2 and maximum of 4:

Tokenizer	Strategy / Behavior	Generated Tokens for "mongo"
edgeGram	Left-Edge Anchored: Keeps the cursor at the zero position (start of the word) and builds out.	"mo", "mon", "mong"
nGram	Sliding Window: Moves character by character across the entire word, grabbing every combination.	"mo", "mon", "mong", "on", "ong", "ng", "go"
