Fuzzy search hits user feedback #123

Description

@sblack-usu

Describe the feature you'd like and what it will do
We turned off fuzzy search in discovery results because it wasn't clear to users what was happening. We currently have a search endpoint that includes feedback to describe which terms had fuzzy matches and what those matches are. The UI could be updated to use this endpoint and give user feedback on what the fuzzy matches were.

Why is this feature important?
If we don't want to turn on fuzzy search then we don't need it.

Additional context
Searching with BAD Czzo, dfh results in

  "fuzzy_search_terms": {
    "Czzo": [
      "czo",
      "cczo"
    ],
    "BAD": [
      "add",
      "radiation",
      "bacon",
      "basin"
    ]
  }

A UI could be built to show that Czzo matched czo and cczo, allowing the user to refine their search with the intended term.
