// Contains
// Getting closer to '1.0' for the 'threshold' increases the accuracy of the comparison.
bool ContainsFuzzy(this string source, string search, double threshold = 0.7, SimMetricType simMetricType = SimMetricType.Levenstein)
// Returns approved values from the 'source' items.

SimMetricResult class contains the following data:

public class SimMetricResult
{
    public string Item { get; set; }
    // [0-1] => [0%-100%] similarity 
    public double Score { get; set; }
}
