  Key Concepts: 
  Fuzzy search is a feature of SAP Master Data Governance (CA-MDG) that allows users to search for data using partial or incomplete information. It uses algorithms to match the search query with the data stored in the system, even if the query does not match exactly. This makes it easier to find the desired data quickly and accurately.
  
  How to use it: 
  To use fuzzy search, users must enter a search query into the system. The system will then compare the query with the data stored in the system and return a list of results that match the query. The user can then select the desired result from the list.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using fuzzy search, it is important to enter as much information as possible in order to get more accurate results. Additionally, users should be aware that fuzzy search may return results that are not exactly what they are looking for, so they should review all results carefully before selecting one.

  Fuzzy search is similar to other search features such as natural language processing and keyword search. It is also related to other features of SAP Master Data Governance such as data cleansing and data enrichment.
