[Xapian-discuss] Olly Betts, Has anyone tested the new Edit Distance(SQLServer) algorithm compared to the current one? Thank you.

[Frank Chang]

Mr. Olly Betts, I talked to our software director today and he indicated to me that we could disclose our test harness code to the Xapian project, if you and your colleagues are interested. Thank you.
