See
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2254999/similarity-function-in-postgres-with-pg-trgm

There is also http://www.sai.msu.su/~megera/postgres/gist/  but I am unable
to connect to that site at the moment.

>From the pg_trgm manual: "The pg_trgm module provides functions and
operators for determining the similarity of text based on trigram matching,
as
well as index operator classes that support fast searching for similar
strings."

I only started using it today and I am excited about it.
