Java has mentioned an additional config above. only in hex mode, fuzzy search is possible. Node always uses hex mode.

0.0 will still use the hana fuzzy search (even though I don't know if it makes sense). we explicitly check for value false to not use hana fuzzy search but a self implemented case insensitive substring search using the like operator.
