Comparison with SimString #112

Not sure if it is a right question, but given that SimString does efficient approximate search / string lookups from a large database, wondering how CRFSuite is different or better?

I understand there is some technical difference at the algorithmic level how each is implemented differently, but at the practical use-case and result level are there scenarios where:

Also, is it not the case that CRF once built cannot be modified (or added new strings) and that SimString being a DB-based can add new strings on the fly to the DB?
