Searching "teh" or tihs"

[Andre Garzia]

Congratulations on the fuzzysearch. I don't know how you did it but for the
English language, I remember both soundex and its refinement called
metaphone, both algorithms are made for this kind of situation. I think
that Levenshtein distance based algos are the way to go for this stuff
these days but are a bit beyond of what I am used to developing...
