It wasn't my intention to write another categorization service (see above) and I'd prefer to contribute to make the existing categorization better (see above).
The problem I have is I need synonyms and fuzzy search NOW and it's completely fine for me to populate the tables without usage of ACS at all (for now).
Anyway, now we have a discussion and once I have ACS installed (again) and am able to look at what's there I/we can help with that (or even take it over).
There are a few things here to be asked:
- Besides the need of making the synonyms-part smarter, does anyone agree this is a usable feature? (I hope this isn't already in the existing categorization service)
- Anyone interested in a general "fuzzy search" feature*?
*) I didn't check what Postgres and FTS are capable of, I think regexps and sound() and the like just don't do it.
