Therefore, for the example above we get:
2000-01-04 -> 0.00
2000-01-05 -> 0.95
2000-01-06 -> 0.96
...
2000-01-09 -> 0.99
2000-01-10 -> 1.0
2000-01-11 -> 0.99
2000-01-12 -> 0.98
...
2000-01-15 -> 0.95
2000-01-16 -> 0.00
The distance between dates is calculated following the rules of the Gregorian calendar.
The special case 'fuzzySimilarity = 1.0' and maxDateDistance=n is allowed and returns all dates within a range of n
days with a rank of 1.0.
Dates That Meet Both Conditions
If a date meets the conditions of a typo and also the conditions of the maxDateDistance parameter, two scores
are calculated for the same date. In this case, the score() function returns the highest of both scores. This is
shown in the following example:
SELECT TO_DECIMAL(SCORE(),3,2) AS score, * FROM dates
WHERE CONTAINS(dateofbirth, '2000-01-10', FUZZY(0.8, 'maxDateDistance=5'))
ORDER BY score DESC;
This query returns the following:
2000-01-04 -> 0.00
2000-01-05 -> 0.80
2000-01-06 -> 0.84
2000-01-07 -> 0.88
2000-01-08 -> 0.92
2000-01-09 -> 0.96
2000-01-10 -> 1.0
