Search fuzziness factor #11

Open seangirard opened 9 years ago

it may be a little to near-search since I tried looking up ‘Godzilla’ and most of my search return results were actually books on ‘gorillas.’

Well, Godzilla is a cross between a gorilla and a whale :)

I think the fuzziness factor is set to 7, on a scale of 1-10, with 10 being strict match. Decimal movements are significant (i.e, you don't have to go from 7 to 8, you can go from 7 to 7.1)

I think 7 is more or less the SD recommendation. We can definitely monitor and adjust. Probably need to establish some kind of tests to determine how effective changing this parameter actually is.

@carisomalley do you know of any kind of formal/informal set of tests for this?
