A couple of days ago I contacted ScotlandsPeople via Twitter (@ScotlandsPeople) to ask when the fuzzy search tool that used to be available on the web platform would be reinstated, as was promised in February of this year (see http://scottishgenes.blogspot.com/2022/02/scotlandspeople-to-reinstate-fuzzy.html).
I have now received a response to my enquiry:
Hi there: Apologies for the delay in responding. We've been working on fuzzy matching and we expect it'll be available on the website by the end of this year. We'll highlight it on our social media channels when it's available again. Thanks, Ross
It will be a very welcome return for a tool that can help when other search options occasionally fail.
(With thanks to Ross and ScotlandsPeople)
