Peter Eisentraut	17cc78ef01	To fix the perpetually broken makefiles in the contrib tree, I have ... written a generic framework of rules that the contrib makefiles can use instead of writing their own each time. You only need to set a few variables and off you go.	25 years ago
Bruce Momjian	d8783c512e	Per this discussion, here's a patch to implement both levenshtein() and ... metaphone() in a contrib. There seem to be a fair number of different approaches to both of these algorithms. I used the simplest case for levenshtein which has a cost of 1 for any character insertion, deletion, or substitution. For metaphone, I adapted the same code from CPAN that the PHP folks did. A couple of questions: 1. Does it make sense to fold the soundex contrib together with this one? 2. I was debating trying to add multibyte support to levenshtein (it would make no sense at all for metaphone), but a quick search through the contrib directory found no hits on the word MULTIBYTE. Should worry about adding multibyte support to levenshtein()? Joe Conway	25 years ago
