 I would like the redirect guesser to be more forgiving using SOUNDS LIKE
 . Here's a small suggestion:




 {{{#!php
 function redirect_guess_404_permalink() {
         global $wpdb;

         if ( get_query_var('name') ) {
                 $where = $wpdb->prepare("(post_name SOUNDS LIKE %s",
 $wpdb->esc_like( get_query_var('name') ) );
                 $where .= $wpdb->prepare(" OR post_name LIKE %s)",
 $wpdb->esc_like( get_query_var('name') ) . '%');

 ....
 }}}

 It would be even better if it could be implemented using levenstein
 distance if that is not too heavy on resources.
