Fuzzy search example
companies = list(
session.advanced.document_query(object_type=Company)
# Query with a term that is misspelled
.where_equals("Name", "Ernts Hhandel")
# Call 'fuzzy'
# Pass the required similarity, a decimal param between 0.0 and 1.0
.fuzzy(0.5)
)
# Running the above query on the Northwind sample data returns document: companies/20-A
# which contains "Ernst Handel" in its Name field.from "Companies"
where fuzzy(Name = "Ernts Hnadel", 0.5)
