Hi,
I've to retrieve some addresses from a "dirty" database, sometimes the same
address is written in such a different way for axample:
george washington avenue n 44
I can find:
g. washington avenue
washington avenue
g. washington av.
wHashington avAnue ( in case of error)
etc.
I'd like to know if there is a way to retrieve similar results by a fuzzy
search.
Thanks in advance
Giu

There's some functions in contrib/fuzzystrmatch that might help ...
