In elasticsearch you can use [fuzzy](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/query-dsl-fuzzy-query.html#query-dsl-fuzzy-query) search in order to suggest terms that misspell.
I cant found any similar option on [app search guide](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/app-search/current/guides.html)
For example if user search `mami` instead of `miami` we can still provide him some results .

What version of App Search are you on?
App Search uses Elasticsearch fuzzy queries, and that should be considered match. If you're not seeing that behavior, try adjusting precision on your engine: [Precision tuning (beta) | Elastic App Search Documentation [7.16] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/app-search/7.16/precision-tuning.html).
