Hi L-R,
I had started using these but hadn't quite got the results that I really wanted, ie I could get sentences and what have you but necessarily the word or different word. I'll take another look though and see if I can get a tighter result. At one level, I also wanted to play around with algorithms a little more and familiarise myself with some of them. As you rightly say, what is a word? I was looking mainly for a slightly more simple search for a user across a series of texts to return slight variations (if any exist) as a first off and then get into stop words, inflections et al. Thanks. Update: I also want to be able to give users the ability to search for a particular pattern if they wish or cluster of letters. Hence trying to adapt this algorithm.
