Fuzzy search module ported to Drupal 6
I've just released a Drupal 6 version of the Fuzzy Search module. The module works independently of Drupal's core search, using its own index and settings.
Fuzzy means that it will return partial matches. If you search for treat, it would match treatise, treatment and treating. It also sorts results based on how accurate the match is. Treat would sore higher than treatment, becase treat matches the full keyword in your search.
I added a block to the module that returns nodes base on a query in the url. I'm using this in a similar content block on a new site. It has the potential to be slow as the index table grows, so the block probably isn't recommended on every page. I'm using it on a node/add page to suggest existing content that might keep the user from creating a new node.
Give it a try and let me know how you like it.
