Similarity search
Posted: Tue Apr 30, 2013 3:52 pm
Hi,
First, thanks for this wonderful piece of software !
I don't know if it has already been mentionned, but I didn't find any discussion about it on the forum, so just dropping an idea here:
Similarity search (using Levenshtein distance http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levenshtein_distance).
This kind of algorithm allows to make searches of similar names, allowing typo errors and approximative search phrases.
That would be a great addition !
Thanks for considering it !
