fuzzysearch instead of normal search

I can provide a patch for this if you're interested. I currently have a 404 takeover in the dev version of fuzzysearch, but I think this is a better place for it.

Because fuzzy doesn't use the core search hooks, most of the patch woule lie out side of your main if statement in search404_page().

Is the maintainer interested? If zyxware want's it I can do it quickly.

Subscribing!

(Already using (and loving) fuzzy search, just not ready to install a .dev module.)

Also subscribing

Fuzzy search is a million times better than the worthless default search. I'm subscribing in the hopes that these two modules can work together. Searching with default core search is pathetic.

@awolfey - If you could put the patch across I could set 404 to use fuzzysearch

zyxware, sounds good. I'll put it on my list.

@awolfey - Are you still interested in doing this?

@awolfey - Please assign this issue back to search404 with your answer.

My apologies, I have become very busy with work. I do still have this on my list to do. I'm also willing to help anyone else who wants to do it.

Here's a patch. A couple of issues to deal with eventually:

1. search404 requires core search module, but people using fuzzysearch probably aren't using core search. Maybe there needs to be some kind of check that ensures at least one search module is enabled, without dependencies in the .info file.

2. Because of the above, there is some small amount of duplicated code in the patch.

3. I did this the easy way :), so jump to first or only result only works with core search.

Committed to latest dev version.

@awolfey - Points noted.
Is there a way to invoke

$results = module_invoke($type_search, 'search', 'search', $keys);

for fuzzy search to get results? If so we could implement item 3 as well.

There isn't now, although I've planned something like that when I get time. I'll update here, but don't hold your breath.
