Soundex might work OK, but metaphone is really designed for English
phoenetics. There have been requests for a more user-defined fuzzy
algorithm which would let users specify characters (or parts of
words) that should be considered equivalent. In any case, you'd run
something like this:
htfuzzy soundex
after indexing, then make sure the search_algorithm attribute is set
to your satisfaction:
