I am using umbraco 12. I would like to know whether there is a way to search for checked options using partial keywords. An examine query example would be helpful.
This is what I have been using, which does retrieve the results:
var results = qry.Field("tickBoxesOfFruits", "pears").Execute();
but I want to get the results for something like the following:
var results = qry.Field("tickBoxesOfFruits", "pear").Execute();
So the content items with "pears" checked should return but it doesn't. If anyone has any ideas that would help.

11/26/2023, 6:04 AMHi there! It sounds as though you want to either use a "multicharacter wildcard" or a "fuzzy" search. You use the former if you want a match to start with your term and the latter if you want a match to look like your term. Both are very easy to implement: you just replace
"pear""pear".MultiCharacterWildcard()"pear".Fuzzy()D_Inventor
11/26/2023, 6:15 AMFor clarity, multicharacter wildcard would match:
✅️ pear
✅️ pears
✅️ pearjuice
Multicharacter wildcard does not match:
❌️ conferencepear
❌️ peer
On the other hand, fuzzy matches:
✅️ pear
✅️ peer
✅️ pears
✅️ pea
But fuzzy does not match:
❌️ pearjuice
❌️ conferencepear
