[mercury-users] "You meant" search software?

[Douglas Auclair]

Dear all,

I need to do searches on strings that may not be a perfect match, e.g. that 
are close but different because of misspellings or because of a 
juxtaposition of letters or only a part of the string.

I have heard about libraries that do this (I believe some Lisps and Prolog 
systems replace syntactically/semantically incorrect symbols with correct 
ones automatically), but haven't found any references or (more importantly) 
source code on the 'net.  Does someone have a reference to this kind of 
software?

Thanks,
Doug Auclair
