I've been searching the Cocoa documentation pages on extending and interfacing with Apple applications, hoping to find notes related to the Dictionary application. An API that finds words using a soundex- type function would be nice. That, plus a plugin method to add a UI item similar to "Dictionary" and "Thesaurus" would be ideal.


It's off at a tangent to your question, but I have written a nice NSString category for matching strings based on Soundex and Jaro- Winkler distances that works quite nicely. It only compares single strings rather than search against a list of words, but it's a step in the right direction.

If you're interested in it I can post it.
