Hi there, I''d like to be able to tune the results of a Fuzzy search in a rails application. I''ve tried setting the following in my environment.rb file.

I want to correct spelling errors automatically. I have used search in the past where I can pass an argument through standard search to correct a word with up to 2 spelling errors for example or do the more Google like "Did ya mean?".

Hi, I''ve got a question about FuzzyQueries. Say I''m doing a search for people by name, and I want to allow fuzzy results if there aren''t enough hits with a regular query.

Not sure how much this will interest people but I don''t have a blog so I''m posting something I threw together today cause I think it might be useful. In what little free time I have I''ve been wanting to put together a Rails/Ferret based restful dictionary.

This may be offtopic to Rails, but what are people doing to find records based on fuzzy string matches? For example, if you wanted to find a Person with name "David Heinemeier Hansson" but searched using the string "Dave Hansson".

Hi i''m using ferret to enable geographical postcode.

Hi, I''m building a web server application using Ferret [thanks so much Dave], Mongrel and Camping which works fine servicing one request at a time, but serialises searches if more than one request arrives, so I''d like some advice please about the best way to use multiple readers and one writer. Some background ... query requests which in my case are always read only, arrive via
