I've set up a filter in Data View for searching in a text field.
FuzzySearch produces too many irrelevant results as it looks for a sequence of characters.
It would be great if one could tune it somehow ...!

So I setup a filter:
filter="title.lowercase().contains(srchtitle.value.lowercase())
where title is the column and srchtitle is the text field.
The titles are all in CAPS so I formatted with lowercase()

All works fine, but we need users to be able to search on more than one word.
I've used % as a separator in the past, but this does not work with client side filtering.
Any suggestions?

Hello David,
You cannot do such type of search (multi word) in Data View with contains filter.

As for fuzzy search - that's its idea, to look for approximate to the entered string results.
