FW: google search

Hi,

I am trying to optimize the search of users, as google does.
So I thought having a 2. column in DB with a "normalized" version of the string.
By normalize I mean convert ä to ae etc.

Someone done this before?

On my way searching for a solution, I found this lib for a "did you mean" search:
http://norvig.com/spell-correct.html
Can we integrate this into ORM? and build the "big.txt" from the DB in the DB instead of disk?
Or is it too much overhead?

I know, haystack can do this for you, but brings in a lot of overhead (like the searchengines) to you,
along with a lot of features not all people may need.

Any one there with an other idea?

regards

Henrik
