Using the app search on the api console and via the api, it seems that the search is fuzzy and I get a lot of random results back. Is there an option to make the default search substring instead of fuzzy? If not, is there any way to tweak the fuzziness?

Thanks,  
Andrew

NVM. I am going to use the filters and meta scores.
