Fuzzy Search Needs Testing
As I am entering the home stretch of the project I have gotten a small amount of feedback from various testers regarding my fuzzy search module but so far have gotten no feedback on how good the algorithm is at returning relevant results. I have just recently reworked my algorithm to tighten up the matching. I'd really appreciate it if I could get a person with a site that has over 400+ nodes or so to test out the module and see how fast it performs and how relevant they believe the results are.

Part 1 of my project (implementing synonym matching in the search index) is nearly completed, I am waiting for the patches to be accepted into core for drupal 6. In addition to synonym matching I also submitted a patch to index usernames with the nodes as requested in the Search group on drupal.org. The patches can be reviewed here, all comments welcome.

For part 2 of my project I am to implement a fuzzy search engine in drupal.

I've been doing my best to wrap my head around ways to make drupal more fuzzy search capable. The following are some goals of fuzzy search and I guess some comments. I'm not exactly sure how this will help as of now, but I really feel like along with improving the search engine's speed we should look at ways to provide more relevant results.
