"Similar to" searches

"Similar to" searches

I am wondering if there is a way to or how you would have mySQL query for
similar words in comparison to what the user provided.

I have a table which contains only single words. It has two columns:

- `reference` int(10) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
- `word` varchar(100)

I am wondering if there is a way to cross reference the word the user has
provided to similar words in the database (So I could offer "SEE ALSO:"
links).

An example: If the word the user has provided is: Forced
I would like the mySQL query results to find the words: Forcing, Force and
Forces to be the results of the query in the words database.

Is there any way of achieving this?
