In terms of recent work with edit-distance (specifically Levenshtein) and your expressed interest might find this paper provocative.
"We measure the keyword similarity between two strings by lemmatizing them, removing stopwords, and computing the cosine similarity. We then include the keyword similar- ity between the query and the input question, the keyword similarity between the query and the returned evidence, and an indicator feature for whether the query involves a join. The evidence features compute KB-specific properties... We compute the join-key string similarity mea- sured using the Levenshtein distance.
