Add fuzzy search into Outpost API (keywords) #88

Although this closely overlaps with #23 I'm creating this as a separate ticket as fuzzy search != spelling correction

The problem: Currently searching for: Job centre, jobcentre, job center returns different results.

There are two solutions for this:

  1. Implement search index using a tool such as elastic search, which would also align with #27, #26, #25 and #24 to create a better overall search experience, however this would need to be done on an individual implementation basis as the configuration may vary depending on the instance.

  2. Implement fuzzy search in mongo db paying attention to database performance.
