Given this some thought...
How about removing letters one by one
Entry desired to find: "Rock and Roll"
other entries: Blues, Jazz, easy listening, and Country
SearchWord is: Rockx
Rockx returns 0 results
ockx returns 0 results
Rokx returns 0 results
Rocx returns 0 results
Rock returns 1 result
The next step would be if there are 2, 3, or more letters that don't match.
This seems to go on and on...
What about a way to get a percentage match...or something?
like Rock and Roll matches is like a 50% of the letters of SearchWord...which would be the highest match
Blues would be a 0% match
Jazz would be a 0% match
easy listening would be 0% match
Country would be a 28% match
What about some sort of spelling corrector?
Thanks again for everything!
