# Fuzzy Query > More info about fuzzy query is in the [official elasticsearch docs][1] The fuzzy query uses similarity based on Levenshtein edit distance for string fields, and a +/- margin on numeric and date fields. ## Simple example ```JSON { "fuzzy" : { "user" : "ki" } } ``` In DSL: ```php $fuzzyQuery = new FuzzyQuery('user', 'ki'); $search = new Search(); $search->addQuery($fuzzyQuery); $queryArray = $search->toArray(); ``` ## With more advanced settings ```JSON { "fuzzy" : { "user" : { "value" : "ki", "boost" : 1.0, "fuzziness" : 2, "prefix_length" : 0, "max_expansions": 100 } } } ``` In DSL ```php $fuzzyQuery = new FuzzyQuery( 'user', 'ki', [ 'boost' => 1, 'fuzziness' => 2, 'prefix_length' => 0, 'max_expansions' => 100, ] ); $search = new Search(); $search->addQuery($fuzzyQuery); $queryArray = $search->toArray(); ``` [1]: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/query-dsl-fuzzy-query.html
