Excerpt from the online manpage of htfuzzy:
Algorithms
Indexes for the following search algorithms can currently be created:
soundex
Creates a slightly modified soundex key database. Differences with
the standard soundex algorithm are:
* Keys are 6 digits.
* 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.
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
<http://fmg-www.cs.ucla.edu/fmg-members/geoff/ispell.html> 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 distribution 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.
Note that for the accents algorithm to work on htdig 3.1.5, you need
Robert Marchand's patch accents.5 (you can find it @
ftp://sol.ccsf.cc.ca.us/htdig-patches/3.1.5/accents.5)
