    Fuzzy Search

    • A fuzzy search retrieves documents containing terms that closely match a given term instead of exact matches, assisting in finding relevant results when the search term is misspelled or has minor variations.

    • Fuzzy search is available only via DocumentQuery or RQL.

    • Use the Fuzzy method when querying with WhereEquals.

    Fuzzy search example 

    List<Company> companies = session.Advanced
    .DocumentQuery<Company>()
     // Query with a term that is misspelled
    .WhereEquals(x => x.Name, "Ernts Hnadel")
    // Call 'Fuzzy' 
    // Pass the required similarity, a decimal param between 0.0 and 1.0
    .Fuzzy(0.5m)
    .ToList();

// Running the above query on the Northwind sample data returns document: companies/20-A
// which contains "Ernst Handel" in its Name field.
    List<Company> companies = await asyncSession.Advanced
    .AsyncDocumentQuery<Company>()
     // Query with a term that is misspelled
    .WhereEquals(x => x.Name, "Ernts Hnadel")
     // Call 'Fuzzy' 
     // Pass the required similarity, a decimal param between 0.0 and 1.0
    .Fuzzy(0.5m)
    .ToListAsync();

// 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)
