The best available tools for approximate pattern matching are glimpse and agrep, developed by Manber and Wu at the University of Arizona, and available from http://glimpse.cs.arizona.edu/. Glimpse is a tool for building and using an index for searching through file systems, while agrep (approximate general regular expression pattern matcher) is a tool supporting text search with spelling errors. Both programs are widely used and respected.
