Re: [sword-devel] Fuzzy search and definitions?

You might not be getting hits if all four words aren't in the same verse. Try prefixing to your search term: prox: That should span verses. On May 2, 2017 1:20:36 PM MST, David Haslam wrote: >By a process of trial and error, I have found that words with an *edit >distance* of 3 or less are fo

Re: [sword-devel] Fuzzy search and definitions?

By a process of trial and error, I have found that words with an *edit distance* of 3 or less are found, and 4 or more are not found. Try tilgath~ AND palonesar~ and play with the search key in Xiphos advanced search with Lucene selected. David -- View this message in context: http://sword-d

Re: [sword-devel] Fuzzy search and definitions?

For my King James Pure Bible Search (KJPBS) software ( http://www.purebiblesearch.com/ ), I use the SoundEx algorithm for fuzzy search. Though, in my software, it doesn't really have do "searching", per se, as it already

Re: [sword-devel] Fuzzy search and definitions?

Lucene already provides for "fuzzy" searches. Try searching the KJV for: *melchesidec~* The /tilde/ on the end indicates to the Lucene search engine to do a fuzzy search. The above example will find *Melchizedek* in Gen 14:8, Psalm 110:4 and the 9 instances of *Melchisedec* in Hebrews, though

[sword-devel] Fuzzy search and definitions?

For those front-end apps that have a *fuzzy search* feature, is this based on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levenshtein_distance or on something quite different? Any chance of building this into SWORD & JSword, or do we already have it? I've never seen this mentioned before in the nine years I'
