Fuzzy Searches

A fuzzy search returns items that are similar to your search term. You add a tilde (~) to the end of your search query to perform a fuzzy search. For example, if you entered "well~" the following items return: "sell" and "tell."

You can add a value between 0 through 1 to force the search to find less or more similar terms where a value of 0 is less similar and 1 is more similar. The default value is 0.5.

For example, the following query forces the search for more similar matches to "well":

well~0.9
