If the "slighly misspelled" is due to writing after hearing,
something like the Soundex algorithm is one possible solution.
The algorithm depends on the speaker's language. There
are a few variants for English. Other languages might be
found on the internet.

Hi Folks,
I want to determine if 'Lecœur' occurs in $text.
A naïve solution is this XPath expression:
contains($text, 'Lecœur')
However, that does not take into account many important factors:
1. Perhaps 'Lecœur' occurs, but in $text it is in uppercase
2. Perhaps instead of the 'œ' ligature, $text uses 'oe'
3. Perhaps in $text 'Lecœur' is split over two lines and thus is hyphenated
4. Perhaps 'Lecœur' is slightly misspelled in $text and therefore requires
fuzzy matching
And there are many other important factors.
Do you have an XPath solution to this problem that takes into account the
many important factors?
