+
+You may adjust @samp{gnosis-string-difference}, this is a threshold value
+for string comparison that determines the maximum acceptable
+Levenshtein distance between two strings, which identifies their
+similarity
+
+Let's illustrate with an example:
+@lisp
+(setf gnosis-string-difference 1)
+@end lisp
+
+In this scenario, we set `gnosis-string-difference` to 1. This implies
+that two strings will be recognized as similar if they exhibit a
+difference of at most one character edit.
+
+To demonstrate, 'example' and 'examples' will be recognized as
+similar, considering that the latter involves just one additional
+character.``
