I came across this yesterday, it might be the new state of the art? :

%A J. Tarhio
%A E. Ukkonen
%T Approximate Boyer-Moore string matching.
%J SIAM J. Comput.
%V 22
%N 2
%P 243-260
%P APR
%D 1993
%K SJC, match, search, k-mismatch, mismatch, change, substitution,
   indel, insert, delete, Boyer Moore
%X |pattern|=m, |text|=n, <=k mismatches, |alphabet|=c
   give O(kn(1/(m-k)+(k/c))) algorithm,
   and a related algorithm for <=k differences (indel and/or change).
   Claim fast in practice.
