Fuzzy Matching and Approximate Search
Cards in this group · 5
- G3.14.1Approximate matching absorbs character differences in the index without rewriting the query the user sees
- G3.14.2An edit-distance threshold that is too large admits irrelevant hits; too small, and tolerance disappears
- G3.14.3Phonetic and lookalike matching are not the same as character edit distance
- G3.14.4Matching inflected forms depends on stemming, not spelling correction
- G3.14.5Fuzzy hits should be downweighted so exact matches surface first
