Fuzzy Find Product for FileMaker. Saw demo-ed at POE. Can't remember name/developer. (Approximate String Matching)

[shencearn]

I could write one myself but depending on pricing, might be easier to just buy it off the shelf. My google-fu is weak and I can't find it. Anyone recall what I'm talking about. It was maybe a plug-in, maybe just a product definitely for FileMaker-specific. Did cross-table searches FAST in a pop-up window as well as approximate string matching (fuzzy find). So I could type in John and get results for Jon, etc. Don't remember much else.

 

I'll be very impressed with anyone who can answer this based on the limited amount I included. That is all.

I think this was the description of the session:

 

Fun with FM Search Results 

I am going to show a few ways that I have Use FMSR to do things like search for duplicates while a record is being made as well as using it for value lists and the like.

but I can't find a product called FM Search Results anywhere.

Matt Navarre of App.works used to sell it through SeedCode. I don't think it's for sale publicly any longer. You could reach out to them and ask.

Hi Josh,

[Josh Ormond]

fmSearchResults, yes.

[Lee Smith]

I have a demo, but I can't find a way to purchase it. LOL

Nice one @Josh Ormond

Hi Josh,

The link for the Demo takes me to Seedcode, but no file exist in their products list.

i had the file in a folder for Clickware.com, but their site seems inactive, and I have the author as Matt Navarre.

Correct. Matt Navarre, of App.works ( formerly MSN Media ). He sold fmSearchResults through SeedCode. ( the same way David Ramsey made FMPerception, but is sold through Geist Interactive ).

fmSearchResults is no longer available for purchase publicly. What I don't know is if you contact App.works, if they can or are willing to provide it any longer.

Hi shencearn,

I'm wondering, did you ever get in touch with Matt Navarre at App.works?

How about an update?

[Josh Ormond]

I talked to Matt at DevCon. They will, shortly, be releasing fmSearchResults for free. Hang tight.

[Lee Smith]

Hi JO,

I look forward to that release.

[Matt Navarre]
