I found FULLTEXT (MATCH/AGAINST) indexes and the SOUNDEX function.  Are 
there other MySQL features that help with Fuzzy searching?

Soundex seems very useful, but I'm not sure how to apply it to multi-word 
strings.

I'd also be interested in pointers to general info on writing fuzzy searches.

A Perl example would be great.


I think what I want it a kind of combination of SOUNDEX and the relevance 
value from MATCH/AGAINST.  Is something like this possible?

Thanks in advance.
