Fuzzy Search

[pkranga]

Does the current search API handle spell mistake search as well. for example if we search for "pulvariser" does it return content that has the word "pulvarizer" as well?

We tried using the fuzzy: true in the search request it just returns all the records.

@pkranga No. fuzzy search is not implemented in the search API.

@pkranga maybe you can implement and contribute back, that'd be wonderful. If you are doing, use this thread to discuss design etc.

[Jayaprakash8887]

@pkranga sincere apologies. Seems like necessary coding for fuzzy search is available. I am gathering information on how to utilize it. will revert at the earliest.

[Jayaprakash8887]

@pkranga As you have correctly mentioned, current code seems to be returning all records when "fuzzy": true. I couldnt find a way to filter for necessary record using fuzzy capability. Looking forward for your contribution.

@pkranga Fuzzy search is available out of the box by default from ES. We have not explored this. Please try
