Fuzzy search

[philpagel]

I am currently playing with paperless-ng trying to decide if it works for me. I have installed the docker container from docker hub and dumped a whole lot of PDF documents (mostly scanned) into a folder for paperless-ng to consume. Everything went fine and I am now exploring the search functionality.

By and large, search works nicely, but there is one thing I have not been able to figure out, yet: Is there a way to have automatic fuzzy matching? I have already discovered the use of regex and substrings, but that is not what I am after. OCR is inherently imperfect. So I will never know, when and where a single letter (or a few) has been mis-recognized in a word causing normal search to fail, silently on some documents.

Any links to parts of documentation I failed to find are welcome – just as other suggestions or solutions.
