Fuzziness parameter

Help your users even more with Fuzzy Search. Use the right fuzziness levels in your app to make it less sensitive to typos. Sample use case: You occasionally make mistakes when typing. Your app still returns the desired search results.

Use the following code snippet to try this in your app.

  • Level 1 uses no spell checking.
  • Level 2 is using normal n-gram spell checking. For example, a query "restrant" can be matched to " restaurant".
  • Level 3 is using sound-like spell checking and shingle spell checking. Sound-like spell checking is for "rstrnt" to "restaurant" matching. Shingle spell checking is for "mountainview" to " mountain view" matching.
  • Level 4 doesn’t add any more spell checking functionality.

The search engine will start looking for a match on the level defined by minFuzzyLevel and will stop searching at the level specified by maxFuzzyLevel.
