in thread Deciding which word in an array is the closest match to a given word

No, that won't work because the modules are too general. "dhc15-E" and "Sony camcoder 15-e" should be a match, but something like "dhc16-E" should not match, as that will be a camcorder of a different type. But the modules you mention won't have the knowledge what the strings mean, and will consider "dhc15-E" and "dhc16-E" quite similar - as they differ by only one character.
