feck Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 I would like to implement a solution using a form that would allow casual users to search for certain objects stored within my MySQL database. I know i can achieve this normally, but if the user mispells their search, I would like the retrieval to bring back the nearest match. So if someone was searching for say 'ferrari' and they misspelled it 'ferari', 'firrari' , or 'ferrary', it would bring back all the 'ferrari's in the DB. Now how do i go about implementing this, what areas should i be looking at? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/133210-mispelled-searches/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenway Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Look at Lucene or Sphinx, 3rd party full-text search engines. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/133210-mispelled-searches/#findComment-692859 Share on other sites More sharing options...
