Hi, I posted a week or so ago about trying to match up customer search terms with product names. Using CONTAINS I am matching a decent amount of these, but I'd like to catch even more. I've been looking into fuzzy match, but I'm not sure how to use it for what I want.
Here's an example of what I'm talking about:
| id | search term | product name | match |
| 1 | advil | advil gel 100 | yes |
| 2 | advl | advil gel 100 | no |
| 3 | advil gel 10 | advil gel 100 | no |
For the purpose of what I'm doing I would like all of those to be considered a match. Contains only counts the first one as a match since the term 'advil' is part of the product name.
When i read up on fuzzy match I can't find an example that compares 2 columns in the same table. I'm guessing I need to maybe union the table to itself and give each row a unique identifier and then somehow try and match the 2 columns from there? But I haven't been able to get anything like that to work either.
Help!
