Hi,
Following this video: www.dmxzone.com/go/32812/using-the-fuzzysearch-filter-in-dmxzone-app-connect-data-formatter

the result seems to show too many results unless I change the filter to "contains". In this case the result is correct.

So my question is, what does fuzzy do here? I want to use it on a local knowledge base. For example a string within the (html formatted) description field is "IP addresses". Using fuzzy search gets too many results.

Hi Greta,
Fuzzysearch is not exact-match as the contains filter. Fuzzysearch is approximate string matching algorithm, which is used to match a pattern approximately by partial input, rather than exactly.
Fuzzysearch look for each character in the correct order. "bd" will match "abcde", but will not match "edcba".
