The other option for searching a TextIndex is to use extensions to the NEAR and AND and OR operators that are currently supported. I guess it all depends what you mean by "fuzzy matching".
Well, to try to explain the problem: If I have 1.000.000 objects catalogued, all of the meta type Person, and I want to find all the instances matching the regexp-pattern '?????Peter' on those objects' attribute firstname, and the regexp-pattern '???ne' on that objects' attribute lastname, how could I effectively implement that? I.e., is there a need to get down on the C level to get a reasonably fast search? Am I making any sense? Cheers, Morten
