- I'm currently working on the front-end to an information retrieval
- package and would like to incorporate a facility to provide for
- spelling correction. Does anyone have any recommendations for an
- efficient pattern matching algorithm which could be used in this
- capacity?
-
- The dictionary is rather large (but static) and I would prefer having
- the option to search the entries either on disk or through a table
- in memory.
-
- Any insights or references would be especially helpful.
-
- Thanks in advance,
