To help with the search, include the word "fuzzy" - that's what this is,
a comparison of language strings that are not equal in computer terms,
but similar enough in human terms (long ago I had a professor at
university who was a pioneer in this field of work - Lofti Zadeh). You
don't need to go full AI for this, although the Python world is blessed
with the excellent nltk module (Natural Language Toolkit), there are
some simpler routes that should get you what you want.
