Description

### Is there an existing issue for this?

- [X] I have searched the existing issues

### What happened?

On the products' page, It is difficult to find products due to **exact match requirements**. If a product name is misspelled or typed slightly wrong, no results are shown. Adding fuzzy search will fix this by allowing **minor misspellings, typos, and variations** in product name, helping to find products more easily and improving overall experience.

Example:
**Without Fuzzy Search**: If a user types "footax" instead of "footox", no results are shown.
