Text Search Fuzzy Query Service

For Text Search Fuzzy Query web service, in addition to the mandatory inputs, specify the tags in the request.

  • Repository location indicator: Specify the repository name and its attributes.
    • Specifying an attribute set (used for a Similarity Search only) 
      <RepositoryNames>
<RepositoryName attributes="FirstName">Person</RepositoryName>
</RepositoryNames>
    • Specific repository set (used for both Exact and Similarity Search) 
      <RepositoryNames>
<RepositoryName>Person</RepositoryName>
</RepositoryNames>
    • Similarity (fuzzy) Search 
      <FuzzySearchExpression similarityScore="0.95">John</FuzzySearchExpression>

      You can search a specific repository. You can also limit the results based on an attribute set.

      Warning:
      • You cannot perform a Similarity (fuzzy) Search on all repositories; a specific repository must be specified.
      • Do not set ReturnCount when using FuzzySearchExpression. It can result in a SOAP fault.

      A similarity (fuzzy) score can be specified for a Similarity (fuzzy) search. This score is needed to return a matching record. The value must be between 0 and 1.0. The default is 0.8.

  • Standard paging elements such as <StartCount> and <TotalCount> in the <ReturnCount> element (optional). These paging elements help you achieve windowing/pagination of a large result set.
