Is there a way to get a list of results so that you also get, for each result, the phrase that was successfully matched? If so, you could shove all the results into a hash, with the keys being the matched phrase (and the value for each being an array of results), and return the asked-for key's array along with the key and value size for the largest other array.
just thinking aloud...i'd like to be able to do this as well, i don;t know if you can get back that info though. 2008/6/11 Julio Cesar Ody <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > Ideally I'd like to get the number of matches for those similar words, > but I > > know I could just do a search for each of those to get it. > > And I think it might have to boil down to that really.
