    FUZZY STRING MATCHING   

 *  FuzzyMatch.apply is a method for comparing 2 names, that uses Levenshtein algorithm.

 *  The Levenshtein algorithm (also called Edit-Distance) calculates the

 *  least number of edit operations that are necessary to modify one string to obtain another string.

 *

 *  Method FuzzyMatch.apply returns 0 to 1 correlation between 2 names.

 *

 *  Names, that are used for fuzzy matching previously are:

 *

 *  1. Transliterated

 *  2. Alphabetically sorted

 *  3. Converted to lowercase and trimmed for extra whitespaces
