Constructor Details

#initialize(haystack, options_and_rules = {}) ⇒ FuzzyMatch

haystack - a bunch of records that will compete to see who best matches the needle

Rules (can only be specified at initialization or by using a setter)

  • :identities - regexps

  • :groupings - regexps

  • :stop_words - regexps

  • :read - how to interpret each record in the ‘haystack’, either a Proc or a symbol

Options (can be specified at initialization or when calling #find)

  • :must_match_grouping - don’t return a match unless the needle fits into one of the groupings you specified

  • :must_match_at_least_one_word - don’t return a match unless the needle shares at least one word with the match

  • :gather_last_result - enable last_result

  • :threshold - set a score threshold below which not to return results (not generally recommended - please test the results of setting a threshold thoroughly - one set of results and their scores probably won’t be enough to determine the appropriate number). Only checked against the Pair Distance score and ignored when one string or the other is of length 1.

Instance Method Details

#explain(needle, options = {}) ⇒ Object

Explain is like mysql’s EXPLAIN command. You give it a needle and it tells you about how it was located (successfully or not) in the haystack.

d = FuzzyMatch.new ['737', '747', '757' ]
d.explain 'boeing 737-100'
