I would like to announce the two error-tolerant search interfaces developed at UC Irvine for the Chile PersonFinder data.

The interfaces developed are available here:

* Search widget that can be embedded into any webpage:

http://fr.ics.uci.edu/widgets/chilepersonfinder

* Alternative to the PersonFinder search page:

http://fr.ics.uci.edu/chilepersonfinder

We are thankful to PersonFinder team for making the data available and we hope the affected people will find them useful.

There are times I'm not keen on this company.

This time isn't one of them.

Google, thank you for launching this person finder service.
