Fuzzy string matching, word stemming

Use fuzzy string matching to compare or find approximately matching words, for example misspelled. We'll use library FuzzySharp. NuGet: FuzzySharp.

Use word stemming (remove suffix) to find all word forms (with/without any suffix). We'll use library porter2-stemmer. NuGet: Porter2Stemmer. English only.

/*/ nuget -\FuzzySharp; nuget -\Porter2Stemmer; /*/

Get % of similarity.

string s1 = "National Geographic";
string s2 = "nationl geografik";

print.it(FuzzySharp.Fuzz.PartialRatio(s1, s2, FuzzySharp.PreProcess.PreprocessMode.Full));

Get Levenshtein distance.

print.it(FuzzySharp.Levenshtein.EditDistance(s1.Lower(), s2.Lower()));

The FuzzySharp web page gives code examples for most functions.

Get word stem.

var stemmer = new Porter2Stemmer.EnglishPorter2Stemmer();
print.it(stemmer.Stem("friend").Value);
print.it(stemmer.Stem("friendly").Value);
print.it(stemmer.Stem("friends").Value);
print.it(stemmer.Stem("friend's").Value);
