For those interested in my solution I took this article as based to
implement the requirements.

Subject:Re: Similarity percentage between two Strings
Googling for "java string similarity" throws up some stuff you might
find useful.

Well, the similar definition that I'm looking for is the number 2,
maybe
the number 3, but to start the number 2 is enough. If you guys think
that is
not a Lucene problem what else tool can I use to implement this
requirement??
Thanks

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.
