Entity lists currently support fuzzy matching as a global option, but fuzzy matches are a poor fit for some types of search results like QR code scans.

To support this, individual fields should probably support their own tags for what types of matches are relevant / desirable. Fields with canonical inputs rather than 'human' inputs should have different matching criteria.
