		  Synopsis
		
- 
		htfuzzy [-c configfile][-v] algorithm ...
	  
	  - 
		
		  Description
		
- 
		Htfuzzy creates indexes for different "fuzzy" search
		algorithms. These indexes can then be used by the
		htsearch program.
	  
	  - 
		
		  Options
		
- 
		
		  - 
			-c configfile
		  
- 
			Use the specified configuration file instead of the
			default.
		  
- 
			-v
		  
- 
			Verbose mode. Used once will provide progress feedback,
			used more than once will overflow even the biggest
			buffers. :-)

		  Algorithms
		
- 
		Indexes for the following search algorithms can currently
		be created: 
		
		  - 
			soundex
		  
- 
			Creates a slightly modified soundex key database.
			Differences with the standard soundex algorithm are: 
			
			  - 
				Keys are 6 digits.
			  
- 
				The first letter is also encoded.
			  
 
- 
			metaphone
		  
- 
			Creates a metaphone key database. This algorithm is
			more specific to English, but will get fewer "weird"
			matches than the soundex algorithm.
		  
- 
			accents
		  
- 
			Creates an accents key database. This algorithm will
			map all accented letters to their unaccented
			counterparts, so that a search for the unaccented
			word will yield all variations of this word with
			accents.
		  
- 
			endings
		  
- 
			Creates two databases which can be used to match common
			word endings. The creation of these databases requires
			a list of affix rules and a dictionary which uses those
			affix rules. The format of the affix rules and
			dictionary files are the ones used by the
			
			ispell program. Included with the distribution are
			the affix rules for English and a fairly small English
			dictionary. Other languages can be supported by getting
			the appropriate affix rules and dictionaries. These are
			available for many languages; check the ispell
			distribution for more details.
		  
- 
			synonyms
		  
- 
			Creates a database of synonyms for words. It reads a
			text database of synonyms and creates a database that
			htsearch can then use. Each line of the text database
			consists of words where the first word will have the
			other words on that line as synonyms.
		  
 
	  - 
		
		  Files
		
- 
		
		  - 
			CONFIG_DIR/htdig.conf
		  
- 
			The default configuration file.
