------------------------------------

             Summary: Add support for fuzzyMatch function
                 Key: ODATA-1594
                 URL: https://issues.oasis-open.org/browse/ODATA-1594
             Project: OASIS Open Data Protocol (OData) TC
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: Protocol, URL Conventions
    Affects Versions: V4.01_OS
         Environment: Proposed
            Reporter: Michael Pizzo
             Fix For: V4.02


The $search functionality allows fuzzy searching across all properties, and is useful for finding entities that have something to do with a particular search term.

Â

However, some engines may support content search on a particular field, and customers may want to combine such content searches with other predicates, for example:

/users?$filter=address/state eq 'WA' or fuzzyMatch(jobTitle,"smith')

Note:

1) They specifically want job titles related to a "smith" (woodsmith, ironsmith, etc.), not last names related to "smith"
2) They want to logically "OR" this condition with other conditions within the $filter clause.

They can't do either #1 or #2 with $search today.
