# FuzzyQuery Constructor (Term, Single, Int32)

Create a new FuzzyQuery that will match terms with a similarity of at least `minimumSimilarity` to `term`. If a `prefixLength` > 0 is specified, a common prefix of that length is also required.

public FuzzyQuery(
Term term,
float minimumSimilarity,
int prefixLength
);

#### Parameters

term
  the term to search for
minimumSimilarity
  a value between 0 and 1 to set the required similarity between the query term and the matching terms. For example, for a `minimumSimilarity` of `0.5` a term of the same length as the query term is considered similar to the query term if the edit distance between both terms is less than `length(term)*0.5`
prefixLength
  length of common (non-fuzzy) prefix
