Which operator is used in dtSearch to execute a fuzzy search?

The operator used in dtSearch to execute a fuzzy search is represented by the tilde (~) symbol. This operator allows users to find terms that are similar but not exactly the same, effectively enabling a search for variations of words based on spelling and other related criteria.

In this context, when a search query includes the tilde operator followed by a word, dtSearch can return results that vary slightly from the specified word, accommodating typographical errors, variations in spellings, or closely related terms. This feature is particularly useful for broadening search results and ensuring that relevant information is not overlooked due to minor discrepancies in terminology.

The other symbols typically serve different functions within dtSearch. For example, the question mark (?) is often used to represent a single character wildcard, while the asterisk (*) is commonly used to denote a multi-character wildcard, allowing for the inclusion of any string of characters. The percent symbol (%) does not specifically relate to fuzzy searching in the context of dtSearch but may have its own specific applications in different search functionalities. Therefore, the tilde (~) stands out as the correct choice for executing fuzzy searches.
