JoomlaGeek is very excited to announce the latest release of our Geek ElasticSearch. The new release includes support for PHP 8.0, support for Elastic Cloud and The New Powerful Search Mode Fuzzy Search, along with minor bug fixes and many other improvements.
Fuzzy Search
A Fuzzy search returns documents that contain terms similar to the search term. You can find what you are searching for even though you have a spelling mistake. Exact and highly relevant matches appear near the top of the list. For example: If you search for Kolumbia. It will return search results that contain the correct spelling of Columbia or Colombia, ...
It is especially useful when researching unfamiliar, foreign-language, or sophisticated terms, the proper spellings of which are not widely known.
