sounds like search algorithm

I need to implement a sounds like search in my application. I have tried on the net but in vain. Can anyone suggest me any algorithm. Regards

Are you talking about comparing sounds files, or Strings?Drake

strings not sound files

My advice:Give up. Unless you are working in Spanish or something.And hang on to that bad memory, please, so that there is one less person in the United States who rolls their eyes when people talk about switching to metric or reforming English spelling.Drake

I have found an alternative solution, using fuzzyQuery search . It does not serve 100% but to the max. Thanks for the advice. Sailaja

Yes, fuzzy logic works almost as well as "soundex" indices in most cases. I read about real world examples that shows that.

In english, the benefit of "soundex" indices is not too small however, since the same sound can be spelled in so many different ways. "f" as 'f' or 'gh' etc.

There are ready implementations in oracle and maybee other expensive databases, but which are some work to "tune".

To implement a "soundex" index yourself is suicide. It is far more complex to do it well than you can possible imagine.

I do not want to make the search database dependent but rather have it language dependent(in this cas eJava). For my present search fuzzy logic fits in, so I have implemented it. Thanks for all the inputs. Sailaja

Nonsense. It's quite simple. 5 steps:

Contains a list of improvements to the algorithm:

There's also the metaphone which is more complex but still not hard to understand:

Stand corrected.Only seen very complex stuff before, mainly from Oracle.Gil
