Also, according to this post:

The author has already written a Go implementation. Unfortunately I have no way to reach this person.

@valsor not at the moment, no. might be easier to just wrap it in a Go API.

I would really like to see this implemented. Are there any updates regarding this topic since the last post ?

mschoch commented 6 years ago

The scorch index implementation does use levenshtein automata for fuzzy search. It is nearly production ready, and once scorch beomes the default this issue will be closed.

How does one use fuzzy search on a scorch index?

EDIT: That would be via bleve.NewFuzzyQuery
