E.g. this will match a document indexed by term "fuzzy":

quest --flags=default,fuzzy --db=/path/to/db 'phuzzy~'

Default edit distance is 2, but you can also specify it explicitly, e.g.
phuzzi~3 sets it to 3 and phuzzi~0.5 sets it to half the length (so also
3 here).

As Bremner indicated, this is new in git master.
