Default search of words

I have a list of titles (say movies) in one column in a file which I need to
match against a database with a similar field. The only thing is that my file
may not have the titles spelt in the same format or even be a 100% match. Is
there a way I can do a match based on the number of letters/ words? I can use
Access as well if its better using it. Thank you for the advice.
