Finally, I would implement functions template <typename TRange> find_iterator<TRange> approximate_find (TRange text, TRange pattern, approximate_distance<TRange>& distance);

These would return all approximate matches of pattern int text. The first one return the approximate string itself, the later one returns its index.
These functions are for finding substrings in the text? This seems to me like how the regex_search interface works. Is it possible to make the interface similar? Something like string pattern = "acbdef"; string text = "aacdefbcdefabccef"; boost::amatch m; boost::approx e( hamming_distance, pattern, 1 ); while( boost::approx_search( text, m, e ) { cout << m.str() << endl; text = m.suffix().str(); } // prints aacdef, fbcdef abccef Although I could be seeing similarities where they don't exist.
