In this version something is changed.

1. The template was changed
2. I have added 2 methods of search  soundex and levenshtein
3. Some small bugs are fixed

What means soundex and levenshtein ?

Soundex

Here that what the php manual says:

Soundex keys have the property that words pronounced similarly produce the same soundex key, and can thus be used to simplify searches in databases where you know the pronunciation but not the spelling.
This soundex function returns a string 4 characters long, starting with a letter.

Levenshtein
The Levenshtein distance is defined as the minimal number of characters you have to replace, insert or delete to transform str1 into str2.

With both you can find results better if you didn't know how the words are written in the content.
But you can find something more as you want.

So it is the best solution to use more than one word to search.

Because i have deleted in 1.70 the defaultadmin i take 1.71 in the dev.

In the template another optionfelid was added - textlength - so the visitor has a choice of the displayed textlength.

Another searchmethod added - similar text.
