Allow fuzzy search across all fields

[jrdh]

Users want to be able to do fuzzy searches.

There are two pretty good reasons for this:

• the data in EMu isn't standardised in many places and therefore spelling errors exist which fuzzy searches would help catch without users having to search for the typoed words.
• users can also make spelling errors, particularly with taxonomic names.

Technically, this is easy to implement with the fuzzy search in Elasticsearch or using regex/wildcard searches.

The question, however, is how do we manage and represent this in the filters UI? One option is to have an "exact match" toggle on each field input allowing users to switch a field from using fuzzy to exact match search semantics.
