With Fuzzy Search & Autocomplete, the text that matches is not always found, it's really random

Fuzzy settings
I have the following problem:
I’ve grouped all the text I want to search for in a text field in one of my DB tables.

Here are my settings for the component

The problem is that it doesn’t always find the text that matches, it’s really random.

Do you have any idea what the problem is?

Hi @muriel.imbert05,
Hope you are doing well :slightly_smiling_face:

We have carefully reviewed the details you’ve provided, and regarding your question “The problem is that it doesn’t always find the text that matches, it’s really random.
Please try to lower the threshold value, you can try setting it to 0,2 or 0,4 and see if that impacts the results.

A threshold of 0.0 requires a perfect match (of both letters and location), a threshold of 1.0 would match anything.

Additionally, you can check our demo page and see the correct setup for this plugin, for more visual guidance you can also take a look at our Documentation.

Hope this helps :pray:
If you have any other plugin-related questions, feel free to reach out, I will be happy to help!
Best regards.
