Thanks for informing us about this, Lawrence! I read the article, and it
certainly looks like it would be worth adding to ht://Dig, either as an
additional fuzzy algorithm, or a direct replacement for the existing
metaphone implementation. As fun as it would be to tackle this, I can't
justify the time it would take me. So, ht://Dig developers, any takers?
