Abstract

This article surveys index structures for fast similarity search for objects represented by symbol strings. Index structures both for exact and approximate searches by edit distance are considered. Index structures based on inverted indexing, similarity preserving hashing, and treelike structures are mainly presented. Ideas of well-known and recently proposed algorithms are described.
