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? Quote Link to comment 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
