Question
I'm looking for a fuzzy search implementation that works well with western European languages.
Which algorithm works the best and where can I find an implementation in C#?
Update
Soundex adapted to swedish:
NYSSIS implementations:
Levenstein:
Impressive Java library:
But I still doesn't know which one is better for western European languages
Solution 2
I picked NYSSIS.
OTHER TIPS
Soundex is a well known algorithm for matching similar sounding words. Search Google for "soundex c#" for an endless list of suitable implementations and explanations.
You may have to map å,ä,ö to a,a,o if that is not included in the code you pick.
