Out of the box Feathers NeDB does not support fuzzy search. There is a hook that provides this functionality: feathers-nedb-fuzzy-search. It is really simple and straitforward to install and use.

• Install

  npm install feathers-nedb-fuzzy-search --save

• Configure
  Enable it for specifc services or alternatively enable it for all services in app.hooks.

  const search = require('feathers-nedb-fuzzy-search') 
  messages.hooks({
    before: {
      find: search()
    }
  })

• Usage

  const messages = app.service('messages')
  messages.find({
    query: {
      $search: 'some string to search for'
    }
  })
