Basically you would have to build up an index table that has the correct word and the variants that are off. Then you also have have to build a probability function so if someone were to type in &quot;italian piza seattle&quot; that you feed back the says &quot;Did you mean pizza, Seattle Washington?&quot; versus &quot;Did you mean Pisa Italy?&quot;

Thanks Tomas, Soundex function is the key.<br />

Thanks jimpen, building an index is very difficult, although soundex is the implementation I need at the moment, I would love to know the best approach to build such an index automatically, I believe Google wouldn't have done this manually because it's almost impossible.

Hi,<br />
<br />
How do I write a query that returns the closest / best matches if exact is not found? The best implementation can be seen on google.com that says &quot;Did you mean _______&quot; Now a days they have changed it and show the result for the correct keyword by default and shows &quot;Search instead for ________&quot; below it.<br />
<br />
E.g. searching for:<br />
fung shui<br />
fungshwe<br />
<br />
or any other spelling variation always results in correct one i.e. feng shui<br />
<br />
Thanks

MySQL query, get the closest if exact not found
