You can do a fuzzy search using the `*` character. See [here](http://buildwithcraft.com/docs/searching#supported-syntaxes) for a list of supported syntaxes.

**Update:**
As of [Craft 2.5](https://craftcms.com/changelog#build2750), you can enable [fuzzy](https://craftcms.com/help/enabling-fuzzy-search-by-default) searching by default.
