**SetOption(**//whichoption//**,**// value//**)**

{{blk2blue.jpg|blk2blue.jpg}}

| **SetOption** | Set the Ignore Case and Word Only options. |
| //whichoption// | An integer constant, variable, EQUATE, or expression that specifies which option to set. The equates for these options are located in ABFUZZY.INC. MatchOption:NoCase sets the Ignore Case option. MatchOption:WordOnly sets the Word Only option. |
| //value// | An integer constant, variable, EQUATE, or expression that specifies the value for the option. A value of one (1 or True) will set the option on; a value of zero (0 or False) will turn the option off. The default value is True. |

The **SetOption** method logically sets one of the two options available for FuzzyMatching. These are //Ignore Case// and //Word Only//. When //Ignore Case// is set the query is case insensitive. //Word Only// finds the query value only if it is a separate word (denoted by a space directly before and directly after the text.

**Return Data Type:**     BYTE

**Example:**

| FuzzyMatcher.SetOption(MatchOption:NoCase, 1)   !set for case insensitive search |
| **FuzzyMatcher.SetOption(MatchOption:WordOnly, 0) !turn off word only search** |
