Definition

Option to activate the fuzzy mode in full text search.

Use

Searching in fuzzy mode returns objects even if the search term or the object itself contains spelling mistakes. Note that the search engine automatically reduces the fuzziness if the search term is too short.

Due to technical restrictions, this option might not be available as a checkbox or a radio button. In which case, you can activate it by entering an 'x'.

Dependencies

Example

If you search for "carbiolet", because you typed very fast, the search will probably return no hits, except spelling mistakes. But if you activate the fuzzy mode, you will find your "cabriolet", if it is in the index.
