Hi

I think what you are seeing is how the full text content search works.

You can read more about it here. Specifically about how the search uses stemming for the results

https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360043696314-Search-for-Files-Folders-and-Content

From an API pov here is a explanation of differences between search and metadata query that also touches on the fuzzy nature of the full text search capability

https://developer.box.com/guides/search/#comparison-to-metadata-queries

 

Hope this helps
