The article is devoted to the urgent problem of improving the efficiency of information retrieval under conditions of multidimensional uncertainty caused by spelling errors, syntactic variations and semantic differences in natural language texts. Existing approaches - syntactic (Levenshtein distance) and semantic (modern sentence embeddings) - demonstrate limited effectiveness in mixed scenarios, which necessitates their deep integration. The scientific novelty of the research lies in the development of a hybrid algorithm that synthesizes fuzzy search methods based on the formalism of intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IFS). An original mathematical model is proposed that transforms syntactic and semantic similarity metrics into consistent membership and non-membership functions of IFS, allowing to aggregate heterogeneous evidence “for” and “against” relevance and to quantify the degree of uncertainty. An algorithm architecture with independent modules of syntactic and semantic analysis is developed; their results are integrated using IFS operations. Experimental verification was carried out on the RussianSuperGLUE benchmark data (TERRa, LiDiRus datasets). The results confirmed the advantage of the proposed method in terms of Precision@k, MAP and NDCG@k metrics compared to basic syntactic, semantic and classical fuzzy approaches, especially in cases with mixed uncertainty. The practical significance of the work lies in the possibility of using the algorithm as a core of intelligent search systems for digital libraries, corporate document management and support systems, where resistance to errors and the ability to take into account semantic proximity are critically important.
