You will see the Fuzzy logic option in two places on this web site. • a. on the Find by keywords page • b. within individual directories Fuzzy logic is an advanced retrieval feature. Select it if you wish to look for similar-sounding words, for example. If you were to submit the word commuter and select a Fuzzy option, you would also retrieve words such as computer. This is useful for finding foreign names and alternative spellings. Fuzzy logic may help you overcome standard problems associated with Optical Character Recognition software. We use such software to convert scanned pages of text into electronic documents. In limited instances the software may not be able to read the exact letters comprising the original text. An alternative approach to searching within a directory is our browse option. You may wish to try this before experimenting with Fuzzy logic. Fuzzy is set in ‘Off’ mode by default.
