Description Nick Clemens 2020-03-13 11:41:08 UTC
The QueryFuzzy syspref affects zebra in that a fuzziness value is passed to the query, however, it simply allows or disallows the use of the fuzzy search option

To activate fuzziness on a term one must add '~'

Should turning on fuzziness do this automatically?
Comment 1 Lisette Scheer 2020-06-23 17:37:23 UTC
I think it would be very helpful for staff and patrons as our patrons won't know to do it and might get frustrated.
Comment 2 Andrew Fuerste-Henry 2020-06-23 17:52:35 UTC
If we make the syspref force all terms to be fuzzy when on, can we make it so that when the syspref is off the ~ still works to fuzzy an individual term? I agree that it's unreasonable to expect patrons to remember to use a fancy search trick like that, but I think the flexibility is good for staff users.

Agreed, the flexibility is nice for staff but our patrons have been somewhat frustrated, espcially with titles that have apostrophes.

We have QueryFuzzy turned on and ~ does not seem to work to make a term fuzzy.
If it just did it automatically I think that would be better for our patrons.
Comment 4 Lisette Scheer 2020-10-22 20:15:31 UTC
I was doing it before a term rather than after, that is why it didn't work:

Jaspers day - no results
Jasper's Day - 4 results
Jaspers~ day - 172 results. (title that matches at the top.)
