Smart SAP Assistant

• Key Concepts: 
  Fuzzy search is a feature of the SAP Platform Foundational Capabilities component that allows users to search for data using partial or incomplete information. It is a powerful tool that can help users find the exact information they need, even if they don’t know the exact spelling or phrase. Fuzzy search works by comparing the user’s input to a database of known words and phrases, and then returning results that match the user’s input.
  
  How to use it: 
  To use fuzzy search, users must first enter their query into the search bar. The query can be a partial word, phrase, or even just a few letters. Once the query is entered, the fuzzy search algorithm will compare it to its database of known words and phrases and return results that match the user’s input. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using fuzzy search, it is important to remember that it is not an exact science. The algorithm may return results that are not exactly what you are looking for, so it is important to review all of the results before making a decision. Additionally, it is important to remember that fuzzy search works best when used with complete words and phrases.
