There are a couple ways to make different sets of fuzzy search algorithms user-selectable. One way is to have a number of different configuration files, each with its own unique setting of the search_algorithm attribute, and then make the "config" CGI input parameter user-selectable in the search form, so the user can pick the config file that gives the search strategy he/she wants. The other way is to allow the search_algorithm attribute to be directly set from the search form, via the allow_in_form attribute. See http://www.htdig.org/FAQ.html#q4.2 for info about customising and selecting config files, as well as a link to the search form documentation, and see http://www.htdig.org/attrs.html#allow_in_form and http://www.htdig.org/attrs.html#search_algorithm for descriptions of the attributes referenced above. -- Gilles R.
