Ferret talk - Mar 2007 - getting fuzzy search to work

Hello.

Forgive my ignorance if this has been covered.  I searched through the
archives and didn''t find anything.

All the blogs, tutorials, documentation I''m reading on acts_as_ferret
say that to use fuzzy searching, I simply append a ~ to my query.

I''m using Ferret 0.11.3 and the newest (should be) acts_as_ferret
plugin.  I can only get perfect matches to show up using a query such
as...

Blog.find_by_contents("test"), which returns results just fine.

as soon as I add the ~

Blog.find_by_contents("test~"), I get nothing.

If I use wildcard syntax...

Blog.find_by_contents("*test*"), I get results again.

I could be interpreting what I''m reading wrong or I have something
misconfigured, but I''m confused by this.

Can somebody point me in the right direction?

Thanks,
Andrew
