R - stringdist aFind() method, no maxDist parameter

Question

The documentation for aFind, specifies a maxDist paramater you can use, but there is no maxDist parameter you can pass into aFind?

using this code:

result = afind(ae_target_term, ae_search_term,method="cosine", maxDist = 0.2)

just returns

Error in afind(ae_target_term, ae_search_term, method = "cosine", maxDist = 0.2): unused argument (maxDist = 0.2) Traceback:

maxDist is not argument of the function afind , it is argument of the functions grab , grabl and extract .

so I cant do an approcimate aFind with a tolerance, I have to wrap my own function around it to my tolerance? – smackenzie Jul 30 '22 at 15:51
