I've already mentioned this to Jin in private, but I think the better solution for something like this is to post-process the query if you get very few (or zero) matches. For example you could run the query through a spell checker that would suggest you to rewrite 'designpattern' as 'design pattern'. I'm not sure whether the spell checker approach would work in German or Chinese but some sort of post-processing should do the trick. If anyone has implemented something like this or has any good ideas I'd love to hear them. cheers, Dave -- Dave Balmain http://www.davebalmain.com/ _______________________________________________ Ferret-talk mailing list [email protected] http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/ferret-talk
