NAME

  htfuzzy - fuzzy command-line search utility for the ht://Dig search engine


SYNOPSIS

  htfuzzy [-c configfile] [-v] algorithm [options]


DESCRIPTION

  Description to follow here


OPTIONS

  -c configfile
       Use the specified configfile instead of the default.

  -v   Verbose mode , -vvv
	etc ). Specifying more than two v's is probably only useful for
       debugging purposes.


Supported Algorithms

  Different algoritms are supported for searching:
       soundex Creates	a slightly modified soundex key database. Differences
       with the standard soundex algorithm are: Keys are 6 digits and the
       first letter is also encoded.	       metaphone Creates a metaphone
       key database. This algorithm is more specific to English, but  will
       get  fewer  "weird" matches than the soundex algorithm.

       accents (No description of the algorithm at the moment)

       endings Creates	two  databases	which  can  be	used  to match common
       word endings. The creation of these databases requires a list of affix
       rules and a dictionary which uses those affix rules. The format of the
       affix  rules and	 dictionary  files are the ones used by the ispell
       program. Included with the distribution are the affix rules for
       English and a fairly small English dictionary.  Other languages can be
       supported  by  getting  the appropriate affix rules and dictionaries.
       These are available for many languages; check the ispell distribu-
       tion for more details.

       synonyms Creates a database of synonyms for words. It reads a text
       database of synonyms and creates a  database  that htsearch  can	 then
       use. Each line of the text database consists of words where the first
       word will have the other words on that line as synonyms.


Notes on searching


algorithms work or simply try another

  Please consult specialised literature to find out how the different
       search stragegy you do not get the intended search results.
