[sword-devel] Fuzzy search and definitions?

[David Haslam]

Lucene already provides for "fuzzy" searches.

Try searching the KJV for: *melchesidec~*

The /tilde/ on the end indicates to the Lucene search engine to do a fuzzy
search. 

The above example will find *Melchizedek* in Gen 14:8, Psalm 110:4 and  the
9 instances of *Melchisedec* in Hebrews, though it also gives *Malchielites*
in Numbers 26:45 !

HT to DM Smith for an old post in this list.

David
