-The edit distance between two text strings calculated as the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damerau%E2%80%93Levenshtein_distance|Damerau-Levenshtein distance]]. It shows the number of text edits such as insert or delete are needed to obtain one text string from another. It's used to measure a degree of variance between two strings. The bigger is the edit distance, the more different the strings are.
