Issue Summary
Thank You! Nice module!
Need a bit of docs and (maybe) additional API to implement a searches for non-node entities: taxonomy terms, views results, blocks, menu etc.
Advanced search options will be useful.

I recently took over this module. I'm going through all the old issues and closing them if possible. I'm not making any changes other than security fixes to the Drupal 5 version.
If you would still like to see this in the Drupal 6 version, please create a new issue or reopen this one, changing the version number.
Thanks,

Can you explain more? If you want an auto complete for searching taxonomy terms you could use the views module.

hi
thanks for the fast answer!!
what i would like to see is a function like this:
- when you enter taxnomy terms you already have the autocomplete function
- what i would like to see is that this autocomplete function also uses fuzzy search (similar like on google search - even if you enter "drupla" instead of 'drupal' - the word 'drupal' comes first also
just try google.com and enter 'drupla'
i hope that makes it clear.
one more question:
right now i didnt find fuzzy search in views. from what i saw on:
http://drupal.org/node/177368
- are you working on that right ?

Fuzzysearch doesn't store whole words, so I'm not sure how this would work. It also doesn't know where in a node the ngrams it's indexed are from - it doesn't know the difference between taxonomy and node body.
Still, it would be interesting to see if an autocomplete could be of any use. I'm not sure, because you would have something like this as you typed:
d - daa, dab, dac, dae, daf, dag and so on
dr - dra dre dri dro drr etc
dru - dru
drup -- drup drupa drupe
You get the idea. Fuzzy search doesn't know where a word stops or ends, so it couldn't really bring up any words in the autocomplete.
I'm going to mark as postponed, but I'm guessing it will end up won't fix. Let me know if you have any other ideas about this.
