Fuzzy match in C#

Does C# has its own library for Fuzzy match(Fuzzy Search) or a method that can be used directly fr开发者_Python百科om .net libraries?

Not a library, but check out the Levenshtein edit distance algorithm:

It's well known and established and excellent for fuzzy matching text. There are many other examples out there besides the link i provided in case it doesn't suit you: Google Search

Current versions don't have it built in.

I have seen and used Soundex (a method for fuzzy matching) operations for this in the past. Here's an article on how to implement Soundex in .Net.

If its for a kindof "did you mean" function you could have a look at Lorenzo Stoakes C# implementation of Peter Norvig's Spelling Corrector.

If you need more elaborate search features like ranking and such, you could also take at look at Lucene.Net
