Fuzzy Logic Matching

People misspell things! It is a fact of life. Even adults. The problem is, if somebody can't spell your product or service, they can't find it... unless you have "fuzzy logic" matching! So get fuzzy and stop losing business!

In this example, we have a book search. The title of the book we are searching for is:
"Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone."
Using fuzzy logic, the search will match even when every word in the title is misspelled!

The "Percentage" is the percent of letters you need to get correct for a match.
By making the percentage adjustable, you can control how "close" your users need to be to get a match.

Percentage: %
Search:

Percentage 0
Match: No
