> Soundex? Looking at the wikipedia page mentioned at the start of this thread, it said metaphone is based on soundex. It was an attempt to fix some of the big mistakes caused by soundex's simplistic approach. And as for other databases having phonetic support, I know Pick supports it. And to the best of my knowledge that support predates when I first met Pick in the mid 80s.
