Brilliant tutorial! Really enjoyed working along in Jupyter notebook too. I’ve been needing to do a lot of fuzzy searching recently so this was a great demo of how the process works.

I've fallen in love with your channel name and logo! Man they are just perfect 👌👌

It would seem that the partial_ratio deinition changed - fuzz.partial_ratio('Hello World', 'Hello Hello World World World') now returns 100, and not 64 like in the video.

so basically the last matching method is the best one hahaha thanks for the tutorial

Awesome tutorial, how would you do this if you have a few hundred/thousands of strings in json and want to compare duplicates with slightly different names?

[divinecaster]

I was actually looking for something like this, thanks

As other has said, a great tutorial. Thank you!

This is very useful stuff, keep up the good work. Appreciate you

@NeuralNine, crisp & rich tutorial at the same time. Amazing .Thank you for this. In last extract example, how do I make sure I have extractions done only when all the 3 words are found. in your example that would mean all the three words/tokens 'science' 'data' & 'python' must be present. So in other words I do not want to match if anyone of the word is missing . [Hence 'Some Other DataScience ... ] should not come up in result.

Interesting library to work. Maybe I could use it. Thank you 👍

Hi this is so useful and precise! I would like to know if we could add a "score_cutoff" to the "process.extract"?

Super helpful. Thank you for this video!

I'm waiting for ur vids bro keep going

[stanTrX]

Good. How to implement this two match two tables?

[xset]

Very nice Bro, this library is very impressive. I have a program that looks for a match of a specific text in another text and with this library it will help me to be more accurate.

I've build combinations of two strings in a list with itertools a = combinations(lines, 2). How can I compare these pairs of 2 strings with fuzzywuzzy?

[richagoenka]

why does fuzz.partial_ratio(paypal, trustpad-pancakeswap) gives result as 67??please help..

Try get_close_matches in python difflib.😊
