Thanks Mark, I have updated my previous post I guess, before you had a chance to read it.
Did you edit your post on Nabble? That edit didn't come through as a message to java-user so I didn't see it. You shouldn't need to call rewrite on your FuzzyLikeThisQuery unless you want to pass it to the Highlighter.
As for which is best, MoreLikeThis or FuzzyLikeThisQuery -it depends. Are the records you are trying to match frequently mis-spelt? If so, FuzzyLikeThisQuery may provide better results by matching on spelling variations. Try both classes and see. There is no single solution to all tasks as it depends on the data and there are various settings on both classes which can alter results. Using the Highlighter will show you the basis of any matches produced and can help you to see what is going on. Having a human-validated collection of matches will be useful so you can measure the effectiveness of your choice of algorithm.
