  2. String metric - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/String_metric

    In mathematics and computer science, a string metric (also known as a string similarity metric or string distance function) is a metric that measures distance ("inverse similarity") between two text strings for approximate string matching or comparison and in fuzzy string searching.

  3. String-searching algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/String-searching_algorithm

    A string-searching algorithm, sometimes called string-matching algorithm, is an algorithm that searches a body of text for portions that match by pattern. A basic example of string searching is when the pattern and the searched text are arrays of elements of an alphabet ( finite set ) Σ.

    A fuzzy Mediawiki search for "angry emoticon" has as a suggested result "andré emotions" In computer science, approximate string matching (often colloquially referred to as fuzzy string searching) is the technique of finding strings that match a pattern approximately (rather than exactly).

  7. Jaro–Winkler distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaro–Winkler_distance

    The higher the Jaro–Winkler distance for two strings is, the less similar the strings are. The score is normalized such that 0 means an exact match and 1 means there is no similarity. The original paper actually defined the metric in terms of similarity, so the distance is defined as the inversion of that value (distance = 1 − similarity).

  9. Boyer–Moore string-search algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boyer–Moore_string-search...

    Jumping along the text to make comparisons rather than checking every character in the text decreases the number of comparisons that have to be made, which is the key to the efficiency of the algorithm. More formally, the algorithm begins at alignment ⁠ = ⁠, so the start of P is aligned with the start of T.
