9.2.2.2. Fuzzy searches

Fuzzy searches based on the Levenshtein Distance, or Edit Distance algorithm are also supported. To use a fuzzy search use the tilde, “~”, symbol at the end of a Single word Term. For example to search for a term similar in spelling to “roam” use the fuzzy search:

roam~
This search will find terms like foam and roams.

[Note]Note

Terms with a fuzzy search modifier will automatically get a boost factor (see below) of 0.2
