hello.

does anybody know any solutions to the problem of searching
words/phrases, which are close to each other by sounding? e.g. soundex
index or smth.

problem I have: tag suggestion mechanism, similar to google suggest,
which is intended to suggest names of people (search field "person's
name" in web form). it would be great if it does its work smarter than
simple LIKE.

also, i'd be happy to listen opinions from people who have experience
of usage of such things like soundex.

Best regards,
Nikolay
