Abstract
Methods and arrangements performing fuzzy search. A contemplated method includes: establishing an edit distance threshold for the fuzzy search; generating an index of items to be searched, via: storing at least one string; and creating substrings corresponding to the at least one string; providing a query string for use in searching; creating substrings corresponding to the query string; comparing substrings of the query string with substrings in the index; designating at least one candidate string based on said comparing; verifying whether each candidate string satisfies the edit distance threshold; and outputting at least one matching string for each candidate string that satisfies the edit distance threshold. Other variants and embodiments are broadly contemplated herein.
