I don't know how much of this is a Lucene problem, but -- as I'm sure
you will inevitably hear from others on the list -- it depends on
what your definition of "similar" is.
By similar, do you mean:
1. Identical, except for variations in case (upper/lower)
2. Allow 1., but also allow prefixes/suffixes (e.g., "FW: " or "...
(summary")
3. Allow 1., 2. and permit some new terms ... how many?
4. Allow all of the above and allow some changes to terms using
stemming (E.g., "Google releases Chrome" is similar to "Google
announces the release of its new Chrome web browser")
....
I'm sure you see where this is going. So ... how do you define similar?
Good luck!

Hey all,
I want to know how much two Strings are similar! The thing is:
I'm processing an email box and I want to group all messages that
have the subject similar, makes sense?? I looked on the
documentation but I didn't find how to accomplish this. It's not
necessary add the messages or the subjects on some kind of index.
I'm using 2.3.2 version of Lucene.
Anyone has some idea?
Thanks in advance.
