The trouble is, doing fuzzy match on long segments or sections made up
of fragments like this is particularly time consuming (both at runtime
and at "programmer-scratching-his-head" time as well) Might be worth
looking into though...

Otherwise, finding an indexing system that's capable of doing both short
and long segments is also difficult. Again, it might not be impossible,
but it's certainly quite hard.
