....A cross index would in fact return a list of possible matches for such a search quicker because it does not have to perform so many set intersections as in an exact search. Tries have been widely applied to the problem of searching for close matches (e.g. Knuth, 1973, Partridge James, 1974 and Muth Tharp, 1977). Murphy (1990) describes a stepwise technique for constructing tries that optimize the r error digital search problem (where r digits of the key may be erroneous) but concludes that the problem of finding the optimal tree is NP complete. Other spelling correction systems have used hashing ....
