Hey guys... let me start by describing what I need to do; maybe one of you guys have been confronted with this before and have already come up with an equitable solution.

I need to be able to do a 'fuzzy search' on names to check for existing records on a name, accounting for mispelled names, etc.

The FULLTEXT index would work, probably, but it won't with an InnoDB setup. Is there an alternative to this that I can use, or am I SOL?

Thanks,
- b.
