I searched: life abundant

Trying to recall the exact reference of John 10:10.

Normal search of ESV gave exact hit with match all word forms.

I thought for sure that fuzzy search would give me what I wanted here, too.  Instead I got all sorts of hits, even in the OT when I limited the search range to NT.  I stopped hitting the 'more' button when it was clear that fuzzy search was not prioritizing what I thought was a no-brainer match.

    Fuzzy Search does not take into account range restrictions - this has been flagged on a number of occasions but no change as yet.

    Having said that, I agree that the set of results in Fuzzy Search here are rather strange!
