Fuzzy Searches

To do a fuzzy search use the tilde, '~', symbol at the end of a word. For example to search for a term similar in spelling to "roam" use the fuzzy search:

roam~

This search will find terms like foam and roams.

Note: Terms found by the fuzzy search will automatically get a boost factor of 0.2, which means that they are given lower priority when results are sorted by relevance
