## Similarities

検索対象の単語に似た単語であるかどうか判定するための条件を指定します。

### 入れ代り許可の文字数

Enter the number of characters in the search term that can be exchanged. For example, if you specify 2 exchanged characters, "sweep" and "creep" are considered similar, when exchanging "sw" and "cr".

### 追加許可の文字数

Enter the maximum number of characters by which a word can exceed the number of characters in the search term. For example, if you specify 3 additional characters, "long" and "longest" are considered similar, but not "longitude".

### 不足許可の文字数

Enter the number of characters by which a word can be shorter than the search term.For example, if you specify 3 removed characters, "longitude" and "longest" are considered similar, but not "long".

### 組み合わせ

任意の組み合わせの類似検索設定に一致する単語を検索します。

Using Combine better meets a user's expectations from looking at the settings, but may return false positives. Not using Combine may match less than expected, but does not return false positives.

A Weighted Levenshtein Distance (WLD) algorithm is used. If Combine is not checked, then settings are treated as an exclusive-OR (strict WLD). If Combine is checked, then settings are treated as an inclusive-OR (relaxed WLD).

Be careful when using Replace All with Similarity Search. Best to be certain first about what will be found.
