Description

SearchWP Fuzzy Matches is an extension for SearchWP that makes the search engine more lenient with queries by matching approximate spellings. It includes search terms that are close in spelling to terms within your index, which can help when visitors misspell what they are looking for. The extension is deprecated as of SearchWP version 3.0 and will be removed soon.

Key Features

  • Adjustable fuzziness – Filters are available so you can fine-tune how loose the fuzzy matching is.
  • Minimum word length – The searchwp_fuzzy_min_length filter sets the minimum word length included in fuzzy matches, with a default of 5.
  • Deprecated status – The extension is deprecated as of SearchWP version 3.0 and is scheduled for removal.

Who Is It For

This extension is for WordPress sites already using SearchWP that need to handle searches containing misspellings. It suits site owners who have monitored their search queries and found failed searches caused by common misspellings that are too numerous to manage with Term Synonyms.
