#769 closed enhancement (invalid)

Propose fuzzy search in case of 0 records found for searchtext

Description

Search for "corpus gesproken nederlands" > good match

Search for "corpus nederlands" > no records found, while the record with the title "corpus gesproken nederlands" would be a relatively good outcome

It would be nice if an approximate search could be offered if the resultset is empty.

(tested in 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3)

Slightly related to #527

VLO-3.3 yields the desired result (first hit) for the query 'corpus nederlands'. See http://catalog-clarin.esc.rzg.mpg.de/vlo/search?q=corpus+nederlands but notice that the content of that VLO instance varies and the target record may not always be available in which case you get no (appropriate) results.

This is due to changes made in relation to #762. In particular, the 'name' field is now included in the full text search. Notice that actual (more) fuzzy search is available through Searches Lucene syntax.

Closing as 'invalid' as this is no longer an issue in the current development version.
