  Archival information systems in government agency is one of the most used
applications for daily acitivities. One feature in application management
information document is searching. This feature serves to search for documents
from a collection of available information based on keywords entered by the
user. But some researches on a search engine (searching) concluded that the
average user error in the search is quite high due to several factors.
Therefore, we need a development on this feature as search suggestion. This
study discusses the application of the method of approximate string matching
algorithm using levenshtein distance. Levensthein distance algorithm is capable
of calculating the minimum distance conversion of a string into another string
to the optimum. Archiving information system using Levensthein Algorithm String
is an application that will be built to address these problems, this
application will help, especially in the administration to enter or save a
document, locate and make a report that will be seen by government agencies.
