Proposals: fuzzy string search #22

Hello. I want to discuss about some proposals. I am working on Levenshtein distance and Damerau-Levenshtein distance algortihms. I hope, that these implementations will be pulled to the Boost String library.

But i think that we can add to the Boost String Library some more algorithms for fuzzy searhing. I mean these algortihms: Levenshtein distance Damerau-Levenshtein distance Bitap algorithm with modifications by Wu and Manber Spell-checker method N-gram method Signature hashing method BK-trees

What do you think about this idea? If you think that it can be implemented to the Boost String Algo, i will start work on this list immediately.

Best regards, Zaitsev Alexander.
