I want to use fuzzy search inside reg expression for example ,

if search term is "Caancer" then fuzzy search will return something like "cancer" then I want to add this into reg expression like /.* cancer. */

I tried something like,

1.search=/.* blasttoma. */~&queryType=full

2.search=/.* blasttoma~. */&queryType=full

but its not giving any results

I'm expecting if I do something like,

search=/.* blasttoma. */~&queryType=full

it will return result, "Neuroblastoma"

Unfortunately, that's not supported. You could run query terms though the Bing Spell Check API to make sure they are spelled correctly before passing the regular expression: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/cognitive-services/spell-check.

Alternatively, you can use the Autocomplete API with fuzzy mode to get candidate terms from the index to use in the regex expression: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/searchservice/autocomplete
