The November issue of FoxPro Advisor has a very cool article by Mike Lewis about Fuzzy Searches.

>We are looking to write our own app to replace a 3rd-party in-house call tracking system that we've had for years. It was written in 2.5 and used phdBase for the fuzzy searches. I realize the phdBase is no longer available. Does anyone have any recommendations for a search utility that can read memo fields and return which records contain the search words? I've already looked into Mix, but it doesn't have any fuzzy capabilities and it ignores numbers (we need to look up error codes). Most of the other utilities that I've looked at either can't read memo fields or else only return file names and not individual records.
