Thanks SSC, I'm trying to use this with a web application, which would query a DB and get potential matches. I was hoping to have an option for a fuzzy search based on last name , first name combo or one or the other.

I'm quite new to the CLR thing, do you have any resources docs on how that would work? thanks for replying, or on your suggestion with the subset how would you go about doing a subset based on a last name search with a table that has 60k rows.

Thanks again!!!
