MYSQL search for right words | fixing spelling errors

Question

I have a table dictionary which contains a list of words Like:

   ID|word
   ---------
    1|hello
    2|google
    3|similar
    ...
         


        

Answer 1

you can use soundex() function for comparing phonetically

your query should be something like:

select * from table where soundex(word) like soundex('helo');

and this will return you the hello row
