In Oracle, the LIKE operator can be used to perform a fuzzy search on multiple fields. Here is an example query where we want to search for records in a table where the first_name and last_name fields contain a specific string:

SELECT * 
FROM table_name
WHERE first_name LIKE '%search_string%'
OR last_name LIKE '%search_string%';

In the search query above, search_string is the string to be searched for. The % wildcard can be used to represent any sequence of characters. This way, the query will return records that contain search_string in either the first_name or last_name fields.
