Thomas Morton updated LUCENE-1550:
----------------------------------

    Attachment: LUCENE-1550.patch

Patch includes implementation of n-gram string matching.

This implementation uses the position-based optimization to compute partial 
matches of n-gram sub-strings and adds a null-character prefix of size n-1  so 
that the first character is contained in the same number of n-grams as a middle 
character.  Null-character prefix matches are discounted so that  strings with 
no matching characters will return a distance of 0.

Includes test cases.

Fixes javadoc description of StringDistance to reflect that 1 is used for the 
same string and 0 for non-matching.
