Similarity Search

description the similarity search action enables users to search for a specific string within a list of strings using various similarity algorithms this feature is particularly useful for tasks such as fuzzy matching or finding similar items within a dataset action inputs the action requires the following inputs list of strings to search in specify the list of strings ( list\<string> ) in which the search will be performed similarity algorithm choose one of the available similarity algorithms to use for the search the supported algorithms are block distance chapman length deviation chapman mean deviation cosine similarity jaccard similarity euclidean distance dice similarity jaro jaro winkler matching coefficient monge elkan levenstein needleman wunch overlap coefficient qgrams distance smith waterman smith waterman gotoh smith waterman gotoh windowed affine similarity threshold define a threshold value of type double between 0 and 1 strings with a similarity below this threshold will not be included in the search results string to search for specify the string you want to search for within the list of strings limit number of search results limit the number of search results returned by specifying the maximum number of results to display action output upon execution, the action returns a list containing the top x strings, with the most relevant ones appearing at the top usage example for a more in depth guide intended for c#/ net developers follow this link the code used to create the action can be found here
