 Returns a filter predicate (function) suitable for passing to [`Array.prototype.filter`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Array/filter).
 
 * `query`: The filter query to use to reduce an array down to objects matching the query. This can be a string or a number.
 * `keys`: Optionally restrict the search to a set of keys; only applied when filtering objects. This can be a string containing the name of a single key, or an array of keys.
+* `threshold`: The [Dice's Coefficient](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S%C3%B8rensen%E2%80%93Dice_coefficient) threshold used to consider matches. This means that differences such as "In my camp Dan has a fire" and "Dun has fire" can be tolerated. It's a fraction between 0 and 1, which indicates the degree of similarity between the needle and haystack. 0 indicates completely different strings, 1 indicates identical strings.
 
 ### Normalization
 What makes this a "fuzzy" filter is that it is looking for values that _somewhat_ match the query—not exact matches.

+Then, instead of checking string equality, it checks to see if the haystack value contains the needle value (using `indexOf`). If it does, it's considered a match. If threshold is supplied, then a [Dice's Coefficient](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S%C3%B8rensen%E2%80%93Dice_coefficient) algorithm is used to compare the degree of difference between the needle and haystack and if it's above or equal to the threshold then it's a match.
 
 This process only applies when comparing strings; numbers must be exactly equal to be considered a match.
