In fact, You will get more information while start searching on Google before community please try to start yourself

Fuzzy search is similar to standard search, with the exception that it compares and sorts all field values according to their degree of resemblance to the search string. Fuzzy search is especially useful in situations where misspelling is an issue. It can also help you find multiple values that are nearly identical to each other.

When a fuzzy search is made, a tilde " ~ " -character is displayed in front of the search string.

If starting a text search with a tilde " ~ " -character, the text search window will be opened in fuzzy search mode. The search window will contain the tilde with the cursor placed after it. When typing, all values will be sorted by the degree of resemblance to the search string, with the best matches at the top of the list. If Enter is pressed, the first value in the list will be selected.
