I need to attempt to match a given text to that in a database.
An example of this is:
Given Text: Acura MDX Technology Package
Databased items:
Tech Pkg
Technology Pkg with Navigation
Tech Pkg with Entertainment Pkg
Base
FWD
w/Technology Package/18″ Wheels FWD
This doesn’t have to 100% perfect, just a best guess. Any libraries that I should pay special attention to?
Check out Lucene.
