Fully Search of CSL #143

I'm trying to understand the logic behind returning fuzzy search results from CSL. They seem to be completely unrelated to what was searched, having nothing in common phonetically. Examples:

Search for Ana Meza returns: MEHR BANK; RAZA, Syed Ali; AEROSPACE INDUSTRIES ORGANIZATION Search for Robert Martin returns GELOWICZ, Fritz Martin, also known as GELOWICZ, Abdullah; GELOWICZ, Fritz Martin Abdullah; GELOWITZ, Fritz Martin Abdullah; BENZL; KONARS, Robert; GEBERT, Markus Search for Leon Dive returns Luo Jie, also known as Cherry; Ivy Luo; Jie Luo

Can someone explain how these returned results in any way resemble the respective names that were searched?

I also have the same question. Is it possible to get a list of the fuzzy matching criteria? Also, are we able to edit this criteria to not be so fuzzy?
