Hi htdig community, we highly appreciate the power of htdig, especially the fuzzy-search features. We get reasonably good=20 results for soundex searches even for German search queries. However, we feel that some kind of adjustable=20 similarity-threshold attribute for soundex and maybe other fuzzy algorithms would be quite helpful. Consider the soundex weight you can tune down in the search_algorithm attribute. However, that's a weight relative to the exact-matching result. If, then, there are no exact matchings, the soundex-expanded queries are always displayed due to some fixed similarity threshold in the algorithm. Here, from an usability point of view, a possible restriction=20 to VERY similar terms would be helpful so that the user=20 might not wonder about the relevancy of his search results. Do anybody know a way or workaround to achieve this? Yours, Christoph=20 Dr. Christoph Gummersbach Project Coordinator IT xmachina GmbH Heidelberg GERMANY |
