Not having that is kinda the whole value proposition of Big Data.
Github gives you free bandwidth and disk space. In return they get to "grep like a boss" running complex queries with no fuzziness; you don't.
Similar story with search engines and their crawler output. And Amazon's product catalog.
None of these let you turn off the fuzziness and run large/frequent/complex queries, even if you're willing to pay for it. Amazon's "good" product search API is ratelimited by how many convertible leads you send them.
I dunno, it's kinda lame, but I guess that's how things work.
