==== Suffixed tilde character for fuzzy search ==== {{anchor|fuzzy search|respell}}<!-- Please leave anchors in place. Section redirects point to them. --> {{short|H:FUZZY}} [[Approximate string matching|Spelling relaxation]] is requested by suffixing a tilde {{kbd|~}}, like {{kbd|this~}} to match results like {{samp|thus}} and {{samp|thins}}. It covers any two character-changes for any character except the first: it returns addition, exchange, or subtraction. This search technique is sometimes called a "sounds-like" search. For example, searching for {{kbd|{{search link|charlie~ parker~}}}} returns {{samp|Charlie Parker}}, {{samp|Charles Palmer}}, {{samp|Charley Parks}}, etc.
