 * For a phrase it is termed a proximity search, because proximal words are tolerated to an approximate rather than exact phrase.
 * For example, $exact12p matches $exact.
 * For a word it means extra characters or changed characters.
 * For a phrase a fuzzy search requires a whole number telling it how many extra words to fit in, but for a word a fuzzy search can have a decimal fraction, defaulting to $word05 ($wordtilde), where at most two letters can be found swapped, changed, or added, but never the first two letters.
 * For a proximity phrase, a large number can be used, but that is an "expensive" (slow) search.
 * For a word $wordtilde1 is most fuzzy with an edit distance of 2 (default), and $wordtilde9 is least fuzzy, and $wordtilde12 is not fuzzy at all.
