Some applications let users find other people by name. Sometimes, users do not remember the exact names of the people they want to find.

This package provides a means to compare two people's names using an algorithm derived from the Levenshtein algorithm.

This way, this package can find names that are not the same as the users entered but may be the correct names of the people they want to find.
