Just curious if anybody ever experimented with this kind of thing
before? Would the increased DB size and time-to-rescan be an issue at
all?
"Fuzzy search" has been on my list for years... but I haven't done any
experimenting yet, tbh.
The very first phrase in the wikipedia article about metaphone was
somewhat of a bummer:
"Metaphone is a phonetic algorithm, published by Lawrence Philips in
1990, for indexing words by their English pronunciation."
But it seems DM improved support for other languages.
As for the integration... I was wondering whether this should be a
different column/index, or whether this could be a feature you enable,
and thereafter all search indexes would be using DM. There is a
CUSTOMSEARCH column in most tables which could be used by a plugin - and
which is put in the fulltext index, too. That said, I could imagine that
FTS and "fuzzy" search could result in a lot of false positives. But
anyway, it's probably something to explore.
