> Apache Commons Codec released version 1.6 of their codec pack in November,
> 2011. Along with a few bug fixes, 1.6 contains a great new phonetic matching
> system called Beider-Morse Phonetic Matching (BMPM) that is far superior to
> the existing phonetic codecs, such as regular soundex, metaphone, caverphone,
> and so on. BMPM has actually been available for some time, but this is the
> first port of it to java, and its first commit in the Apache ecosystem.
> For a lot more information, see here: http://stevemorse.org/phoneticinfo.htm
> and http://stevemorse.org/phonetics/bmpm.htm
> BMPM would be a fantastic "soundalike" tool to help search for personal names
> (or just surnames) in a Solr/Lucene index, much better than Levenshtein
> distance for this use case.
