# Fuzzy Search Plugin

The `fuzzy` plugin provides a prefixed query that searches your library using fuzzy pattern matching. This can be useful if you want to find a track with complicated characters in the title.

First, enable the plugin named `fuzzy` (see Using Plugins). You’ll then be able to use the `~` prefix to use fuzzy matching:

    $ beet ls '~Vareoldur'
    Sigur Rós - Valtari - Varðeldur

## Configuration

To configure the plugin, make a `fuzzy:` section in your configuration file. The available options are:

- threshold: The “sensitivity” of the fuzzy match. A value of 1.0 will show only perfect matches and a value of 0.0 will match everything. Default: 0.7.

- prefix: The character used to designate fuzzy queries. Default: `~`, which may need to be escaped in some shells.
