In this meeting, the State Changers discussed the use of fuzzy search and indexing in a project. The State Changer mentioned that they were building a simple presentation for their team that involved creating an investor's database. They showed their progress using a search box and a multi-stage filter drop-down. The State Changers discussed the use of fuzzy search and how it can rank search results based on similarity to the search input. They also mentioned the importance of creating a full text index on the relevant table for fuzzy search to work effectively. The State Changers clarified that filters and fuzzy search indexes are separate and explained that the search index would prioritize matches based on ranking criteria such as exact word matches and relevance. They also highlighted that only one index can be used per query, so it's important to choose the appropriate index based on the search requirements. The meeting ended with the State Changers expressing gratitude for the discussion and planning to continue working on the project.
