Spyglass

Tool to search through texts using a Suffix Trie built up from sentences of the text.

Search types

1. Single wildcard

te?t matches test and text

2. Multi character wildcard

mush* matches mushroom and mushy and mush

Equivalent to \w* in regex

3. Multi word wildcard

this ** rabbit matches this rabbit and this enormous rabbit and this big furry rabbit

4. Approximate match using edit distance

he repl'd with edit distance 2 matches he replied

5. Searching with list of ignorable characters

E.g. ignoring vowels and punctuation wracked matches rack'd and wrecked

To do

• Allow deterministic printing - hashmap keys are never sorted, so each time we print the keys are printed in random order
• Matching with ? wildcard
• Matching with * wildcard
• Matching with ** wildcard
• Return proper match object, includign line number of match
• Deal with multiple matches of same line/section e.g. when edit distance is large
