# FuzzyTermMatcher **`class FuzzyTermMatcher`** fuzzy_match | Perform fuzzy term matching on the selected fields. **`pydantic model PluginConfig`** Fields - `fields (str)` - `fuzziness (int | str)` - `fuzzy_max_expansions (int)` - `fuzzy_prefix_length (int | None)` - `in_order (bool)` - `slop (int)` - `text (str | None)` **`PluginConfig.plugin_name: ClassVar[str] = 'fuzzy_match'`** Used to register and reference the plugin within a query. **`field PluginConfig.text: Optional[str] = ''`** Text to be used for fuzzy search **`field PluginConfig.fuzzy_prefix_length: Optional[int] = 2`** First N characters that are not used for fuzzy string-edit distance based term matching. **`field PluginConfig.fuzziness: Union[int, str] = 'auto'`** Fuzziness in edit-distance, how many characters per term are allowed to be changed. auto, or number of characters. **`field PluginConfig.fuzzy_max_expansions: int = 10`** Maximum number of terms to which the query expands for fuzzy matching. **`field PluginConfig.fields: str = 'body'`** Comma separated list of searchable fields **`field PluginConfig.in_order: bool = False`** In case of the input text resulting consisting of multiple terms, whether these terms will be required to be found in order **`field PluginConfig.slop: int = 0`** In case of using in_order fuzzy search, whether other terms are allowed between search terms - and how many.
