XYplorer Beta Club
I have got fuzzy search set in Configuration to 25%.
When I search for "killer" (without the quoatation marks) I can not locate a folder or the file inside called DoubleKiller in C:\Program Files.
If I remove fuzzy searching then I can find it.
Why is this?
All other boxes (including Full Words) are set to OFF with the exception of Include Subfolders.

Please include the following information:
1) Your XYplorer Version (e.g., v28.00.0801)
2) Your Windows Version (e.g., Win 11)
3) Your Screen Scaling Percentage (e.g., 125%).
We strongly recommend adding your Windows Version and Screen Scaling Percentage to the Location field in your Profile or to your Signature. That way, you only have to type them once, and we won't have to search for that vital information.

Re: Fuzzy search
25% fuzziness = 75% minimum similarity.
"killer" is less than 75% similar to DoubleKiller.

Oh Jeeze - I have been using the fuzzy setting in a quite different way. :-(admin wrote:25% fuzziness = 75% minimum similarity.

I thought that TV3 would always find a substring and that if I put fuzzy on then the substring would not have to be a 100% exact match.

Re: Fuzzy search
Well, RTFM! 
Especially note that fuzzy cannot not be combined with wildcards! It's either/or. When the search term contains wildcards fuzzy search is turned off. In code:

If hasWildcards Then
fFuzzy = False
fWholeWords = False
