Fuzzy String And Synonyms

Fuzzy String is a very important feature that an ecommerce website must have. It helps to show the result even if the spelling is not correct.

You just need to enable this feature

  • Fuzzy Matching Level (%) – This means this percentage of the spelling should be matched with the desired result.
    Let’s take an example, here, by default 50% is set. Which means if the searched spelling is matched 50% then it will show the result. If you set this value to 100% then users need to write the exact spelling.
  • Synonym – You need to make groups of words separated by a pipe (|). As you can see in the image, there is a first group of Trousers and Pants. So, if product A contains the word Trouser but a user searches for Pant then the search result will show Product A.

Let’s understand this with an example. There is a product with the word ‘Trousers‘ in its description.

So when I search Paint (wrong spelling of Pants), it is showing the product in the results. Because it has its synonym (Trouser) in its description.
