Hi,

I need a language unaware text comparison algorithm, so i found pgtrgm.
But i am not so content with it, because the similarities it finds are:
  • biased to favor text that is the same in the first character
  • much dependent on similar length of the strings

Are there any other options?

(i want to use it for "did you mean ...?" for approx 6-10 character codes or 8-20 letter words of mixed languages)

Cheers,

WBL
