Just in case you haven’t heard about ArangoSearch yet, it is a high-performance Full-Text Search engine integrated in ArangoDB (meaning connected with the other data-models and AQL). Feel free to check out ArangoSearch – Full-text search engine including similarity ranking capabilities for more details.

In ArangoDB version 3.7 the ArangoSearch team added Fuzzy Search support (see the comprehensive article Fuzzy search by Andrey Abramov). With Fuzzy Search data preprocessing and filtering becomes even more important. In the upcoming ArangoDB 3.8 release, ArangoSearch efforts will be focused on improving this part. In this post I’m going to uncover some of the new features we are proud to present.
