Fuzzy search and the similarity factor

If the search phrase does not get an exact match, you can configure the system to run a fuzzy search (you set which fields to include in a fuzzy search) and then also define the similarity factor between 0 and 1. The closer to 1, the closer to the exact search phrase will the results be.

The portlets listed below are the portlets where to set fuzzy search. The reason for why you need to set fuzzy search and similarity factor in all the portlets is that, when there is a search in the Search portlet, each one of the portlets recognizes this and uses the same search string to run its own search. Thus, it is important that the fuzzy search and similarity factor settings are the same in the articles portlets (the five first) and catalogue portlets (five last) respectively.
