2 ideas:
1) Define the loosest item that returns results (likely regex) then search
with slightly tighter criteria within the results.
Good for situations where even partial matches are a small percentage of
the total data
2) Check every record, and give it a score based on proximity to the
search criteria, then sort.
Good for returning the top N results with the possible results being a
large portion of the total.
Of course you could combine the two and get a subset, then score it and
sort....
Just ideas
