Fuzzy Search¶

Fess supports Fuzzy search based on the Levenshtein Distance or Edit Distance algorithm.

Usage¶

Fuzzy search syntax is word~number, such as Apple~0.8. The number is between 0 and 1, with a value closer to 1 only terms with a higher similarity will be matched.

To search documents which contains words close to solr, the query is as below.

solr~0.8

If no fuzzy value, the default is 0.5.
