Synopsis



= htfuzzy [-c configfile][-v] algorithm ...





 Description



6 Htfuzzy creates indexes for different "fuzzy" search3 algorithms. These indexes can then be used by the= htsearch program.





Options





 -c configfile

6 Use the specified configuration file instead of the default.

 -v

: Verbose mode. Used once will provide progress feedback,5 used more than once will overflow even the biggest buffers. :-)







 Algorithms



; Indexes for the following search algorithms can currently be created: 

 soundex

4 Creates a slightly modified soundex key database.8 Differences with the standard soundex algorithm are: 
  •  Keys are 6 digits.
  • % The first letter is also encoded.
  • 

 metaphone

6 Creates a metaphone key database. This algorithm is7 more specific to English, but will get fewer "weird"& matches than the soundex algorithm.

 accents

7 Creates an accents key database. This algorithm will/ map all accented letters to their unaccented4 counterparts, so that a search for the unaccented3 word will yield all variations of this word with accents.

 endings

: Creates two databases which can be used to match common9 word endings. The creation of these databases requires: a list of affix rules and a dictionary which uses those1 affix rules. The format of the affix rules and, dictionary files are the ones used by theF 9 ispell program. Included with the distribution are9 the affix rules for English and a fairly small English: dictionary. Other languages can be supported by getting: the appropriate affix rules and dictionaries. These are1 available for many languages; check the ispell! distribution for more details.

 synonyms

7 Creates a database of synonyms for words. It reads a8 text database of synonyms and creates a database that8 htsearch can then use. Each line of the text database7 consists of words where the first word will have the( other words on that line as synonyms.
