Hi,

How can I make the soundex-function more or less exact finding results.

If I have a name 'Fretwurst' and search for 'Vretwurst' I do not get the
'Fretwurst' as result. Is it possible to get it right, because for me
Vretwurst is near by Fretwurst?

Sorry about the terrible English.

Thanks for any hints

Christian Guenther
