7359	[patch] Fuzzy (approximate) string searching	joshdoe	team	I think it would be useful to enable a fuzzy (approximate) string search. We could use something like the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levenshtein_distance Levenshtein distance] for this. In the past I found several Java implementations for this, which I should link to here. We'd need to allow the user to choose whether or not to use fuzzy searching, ideally on a per-word basis, and to adjust how approximate the match has to be (the edit distance). I believe this should belong in core, but could be in a plugin, using a keyword like {{{fuzzy}}}, perhaps in utilsplugin2.	enhancement	closed	normal		Core		wontfix	fuzzy string search	bastiK
