Description Edward Rudd 2010-03-22 10:00:08 UTC 
Description of problem:
I am trying to run "kompare" (the KDE compare/diff GUI) but
pk-command-not-found suggests I should run "compare" instead.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
PackageKit-0.5.5-1.fc12@x86_64

How reproducible:
with similar names, every time.
ie.
kompare vs compare
htop vs top

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open a shell and have PackageKit-command-not-found installed
2. run a "similar" but uninstalled known command to something installed (ie..
htop)

Actual results:
Command not found. Similar command is: 'top'

Expected results:
asking me to install htop

    CNF: add a boolean configure variable 'SimilarNameSearch' to allow skipping swizzle testing. Fixes #27246
