About this extension
A simple tool to search approximate matches to a string in web pages. Uses Levenshtein automaton to do this
fairly efficiently.

I mostly built this for myself to search large Wikipedia articles for technical terms that I didn't *quite* remember how to spell.

Release notes for 0.9
Not rigorously tested, but is working. Contains an implementation of Levenshtein automata (with just NFAs) and an alternative dynamic programming approach.

Future versions may contain more algorithms and may allow users to switch between algorithms.
