Hi, I wrote a set of functions to compare 2 words managing the keyboard mistakes. The common mistakes are insertion, deletion, substitution or inversion.
It can be useful for searching name, product reference, city .... For example, if you want to let 2 errors in an input, you can do: ;; a name (candidates? "hickey" "hikey" 3) --> true (candidates? "hickey" "hitchock" 3) --> false ;; a city (candidates? "montrouge" "monrouge" 3) --> true ;; a brand (candidates? "google" "googel" 3) --> true I used lazy sequence to avoid compare the words completely if they' re very different. Thus, (candidates? "hickey" "jobs" 3) --> returns false when the third error is found.
