Are there any Fuzzy Search or String Similarity Functions libraries written for C#?

There are similar question, but not regarding C# libraries I can use in my source code.

Thank you all for your help.

I've already saw lucene, but I need something more easy to search for similar strings and without the overhead of the indexing part.

The answer I marked has got two very easy algorithms, and one uses LINQ too, so it's perfect.

Solution

  • Levenshtein distance implementation:

    I have a .NET 1.1 project in which I use the latter. It's simplistic, but works perfectly for what I need. From what I remember it needed a bit of tweaking, but nothing that wasn't obvious.
