SharePoint 2013 - The new "Name Suggestions" Feature

There are lot of Changes in SharePoint 2013 People Serach but one of them that looks fascinating is the Name Suggestions" Feature.

With "Name Suggestions" MS has Introduced a simple, easy, and intuitive way to find people by their names. "Word wheeling—typing a character(s) and seeing all the names starting with that character(s), is available on all names in the profile database, and therefore also in the People index.

The feature supports exact name matches and also supports "fuzzy" matches. With fuzzy name matches, the spelling is similar but not exact because of phonetic misspellings or typing errors

Fuzzy matching behavior is something where you Search for "numan" and it suggests you the result of "Belinda Newman".
