+For example, a similarity search can find words that differ from the Find text by two characters. + +Set the options for the similarity search. +

Settings

+Define the criteria for determining if a word is similar to the search term. + +

Exchange characters

+Enter the number of characters in the search term that can be exchanged. For example, if you specify 2 exchanged characters, "sweep" and "creep" are considered similar. + +

Add characters

+Enter the maximum number of characters by which a word can exceed the number of characters in the search term. + +

Remove characters

+Enter the number of characters by which a word can be shorter than the search term. + +

Combine

+Searches for a term that matches any combination of the similarity search settings. +Using Combine better meets a user's expectations from looking at the settings, but may return false positives. Not using Combine may match less than expected, but does not return false positives. +A Weighted Levenshtein Distance (WLD) algorithm is used. If Combine is not checked, then settings are treated as an exclusive-OR (strict WLD). +If Combine is checked, then settings are treated as an inclusive-OR (relaxed WLD). + +Be careful when using Replace All with Similarity Search. Best to be certain first about what will be found. + + -- cgit v1.2.3
