Fuzzy Match Improve Results

I am trying to fuzzy match my data but it seems like there are cases where it will match to the beginning of a word or the end. It doesn't pick up on the most important term.

 Hi @vujennyfer - I am not sure why do you need Fuzzy Matching? Based on your sample data I can see that you can easily use Find Replace:

Thank you! This worked and was much more straight forward than the fuzzy match.
