Hi,

>Anybody know if a 'Fuzy Search' can be done in Foxpro.
The answer would be Yes. The real question would be 'How efficiently'

>Not exactly sure what is a Fuzzy Search but a few people have requested it .
You need a less fuzzy statement of requirements (s)

It may entail searching for specific words across multiple fields and/or tables - in which case you could use a table of indexed words.
It might mean searching for specific patterns across a piece of text - in which case you could use regular expressions.
It might mean a combination of both.
It might be something else.

The first two can be reasonable efficient. The third, AFAIK, not.

Best,
Viv
