Any idea on how I would be able to do a search within C# that does
ranges or words

For example

I want to search for Chicken in the string

string s1 = "This is Great Chicken";
string s2 = "Chicken";
return s1.IndexOf(s2) >= 0

The trick is how would I search for: Person doing the search
misspelled the word Chickin (Happens all the time);

string s1 = "This is Great Chicken";
string s2 = "Chickin";

return ???

or

Worst yet
string s1 = "This is Great Chickin";
string s2 = "Chicken";

Person enter the search phrase misspelled the word Chicken;

string s1 = "This is Great Chickin";
string s2 = "Chicken";

Hi,

I do not how to do it in code, I'm pretty sure that no version of the
framework provides such a feature.
In T-SQL you have this feature though take a look for SOUNDEX function
.
