Fuzzy match query¶

Searching with fuzziness set to auto¶

GET /products/_search
{
  "query": {
    "match": {
      "name": {
        "query": "l0bster",
        "fuzziness": "auto"
      }
    }
  }
}

GET /products/_search
{
  "query": {
    "match": {
      "name": {
        "query": "lobster",
        "fuzziness": "auto"
      }
    }
  }
}

Fuzziness is per term (and specifying an integer)¶

GET /products/_search
{
  "query": {
    "match": {
      "name": {
        "query": "l0bster love",
        "operator": "and",
        "fuzziness": 1
      }
    }
  }
}

Switching letters around with transpositions¶

GET /products/_search
{
  "query": {
    "match": {
      "name": {
        "query": "lvie",
        "fuzziness": 1
      }
    }
  }
}

Disabling transpositions¶

GET /products/_search
{
  "query": {
    "match": {
      "name": {
        "query": "lvie",
        "fuzziness": 1,
        "fuzzy_transpositions": false
      }
    }
  }
}
