We study string breaking in the three dimensional SU(2) Higgs model, usingvalues of the gauge coupling for which the confinement-like and Higgs-likeregions of the phase diagram are separated just by a smooth crossover. We showthat even in the presence of string breaking, the confining part of theinterquark potential is well described by the Effective String Theory and thatalso the fine details of the effective string, like the higher order terms ofthe Nambu-Goto action or the boundary correction, can be precisely extractedfrom the fits and agree with the effective string predictions. We comment onthe implications of these results for QCD simulations with dynamical quarks.
