Fuzzy search

Updated on January 20, 2022

Fuzzy search capabilities improve relevant search results for misspelled search terms, which is a common search issue.

Pega Knowledge Product Overview Product Overview

The following are some features of Fuzzy search:

  • Fuzzy search automatically compensates for misspelled words, returning likely search results for the corrected search term.
  • The fuzzy query generates all possible matching terms that are within a configurable ‘edit’ distance (fuzziness) and then checks the term dictionary to find out which of those generated terms exist in the index.
  • Degree of fuzziness is configurable.
  • Customers can browse other knowledge categories and articles or search for other answers.
