           Summary: Matching formula does not accept anagrams
           Product: kmessedwords
           Version: 2.2
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: zerokode gmx net
        ReportedBy: lists opensourcelaw biz


Version:           2.2 (using KDE 3.3.0-1.1.rh90.kde, Red Hat Linux release 9 \
                (Shrike))
Compiler:          gcc version 3.2.2 20030222 (Red Hat Linux 3.2.2-5)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.4.20-31.9smp

The matching formula doesn't accept anagrams - eg singer and resign.  You effectively \
need to know which word is on the list.  
It would be better if the matching was shunted through a dictionary rather than \
against a list.  Alternatively, when the list is created, have a means of it checking \
a dictionary for anagrams and include them in the valid responses.

Cheers

Brendan
