I have an application where I store information like names and hobbies, and there is a need to search on these text fields. With names in particular, it would be nice to have a fuzzy search capability to account for misspelled queries.

I know I can use MongoConnector to hook up to Solr or Elastic, but that is substantial complexity when the data demands of the application are relatively small and the search capability desired is relatively simple.

I have solved this in a "poor man's" way in my application, but built-in support, even if crude for smaller deployments, would be helpful.
