# FUZZY

The `FUZZY` field specifier (case sensitive) allows you to find documents in which a specified field contains a term that is similar to a specified term or phrase.

## Format

    FieldText=FUZZY{yourTerms}:yourFields

`yourTerms` | One or more terms (or phrases). A document returns only if one of these terms (or phrases) is similar to a string in one of `yourFields`. Separate multiple terms (or phrases) with commas. There must be no space before or after a comma.
`yourFields` | One or more fields. A document returns only if it contains one of these fields, and if the value in this field is similar to one of `yourTerms`. Separate multiple fields with colons (`:`). There must be no space before or after a colon.

## Example

    FieldText=FieldText=FUZZY{Bisiness News,Arkive}:DRETITLE

The `DRETITLE` field value must be similar to the term `Bisiness News` or `Arkive` for the document to return. A document whose `DRETITLE` field contains `Business News` returns, while a document whose `DRETITLE` field contains `Document Arkive` does not).
