Fuzzy Search Missing post desktop version 49.0.144?

I just noticed that the most recent update of my desktop Logos (legacy) has had the "fuzzy" search option removed, leaving only the option to subscribe for "Smart" search for other than "Precise" search. Is the former fuzzy search no longer available? If it still available, how to do I restore it as an option?

Fuzzy search is still available on the search results sort bar (?), but it doesn't seem to be too 'fuzzy' (at least for the search I tried). Perhaps Logos wants us to use Smart Search and will retire Fuzzy search. Don't know.

I would also like to know more about this. I'm reluctant to update Logos. I think I have version 48.

Like Mark's screenshot shows, there's an option for the fuzzy search results AFTER you do a "Precise" search.

Is having to go through the precise search to get there new? I don't remember what it was like before. (I am a subscriber.)

I think it is ridiculous to put an ad for Smart Search first, to obscure Fuzzy search results. And this is for subscribers.

If I click on Fuzzy, it is because I want Fuzzy, not because I want Ads or Nag messages. And why am I being targeted for these when I am already a subscriber? And no way to turn this off?

What is it doing for non-subscribers? Did they remove Fuzzy search for them?

Hi @Robert Flagg

Is the former fuzzy search no longer available?

I've just tried this on my legacy installation (using Logos 49) and the Fuzzy search option is still there

Please post a screenshot showing what you are seeing

Fuzzy-choice won't show, if offline. I rarely see the choice.

Well, I'm flummoxed (but happy). When tried a search today, "Fuzzy" was back (it is my default). Nothing else changed (no interim updates since my post) and I'm still running Legacy v. 49.0.144. (I too am very, very reluctant to move to the subscription model as the features offered at the price are not particularly attractive to me after using Logos for 20-some years.) Thanks to all the faithful responders!

I believe Fuzzy Search was moved to this current location many, many versions ago.
