Fuzzy Search - Tokenize / More Input should match LESS results

Hi, I am trying to get a search to work where the more words your search for, the LESS results on get.
Currently, it seems like the more words you type in, the MORE results you get.

From the documentation, Fuzzy Search using Tokenize settings would do this? However, when installed, there are no such settings. Maybe the documentation is out of date.

Is there any way to configure the plugin such that it reduces the number of matches as you type more in??

Hello @alcatravis, :wave:

Thank you for your message. Could you please specify which plugin you are using? Is it “Fuzzy Search” or “Fuzzy Search Pro”?

Also, I would like to know what threshold value you are currently using in the plugin’s settings. The threshold value plays a crucial role in how the search results are refined. A threshold of 0.0 requires a perfect match (both in terms of letters and their location), while a threshold of 1.0 would match anything, regardless of accuracy.

Adjusting the threshold value might help in resolving your issue. For instance, setting the threshold to 0.1 or 0.2 could potentially give fewer and more relevant results as you type more words. It’s about finding the right balance that suits your specific needs.

And of course we will make sure that docs are up to date, thanks for letting us know. :pray:

Looking forward to your reply.

Happy Holidays! :christmas_tree:

Best Regards,
Daniel.
