Hi!<br>
<br>
I have way better results with DoubleMetaphone. It's available in apache<br>
commons codec.<br></blockquote><div><br>Indeed, although testing for 100 different contexts of the letter 'C' alone<br>sounds quite heavy.<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
<br>
You need a two step approach:<br>
<br>
First select the canidates with phonetic keys (Soundex/DoubleMetaphone)<br>
Then filter all canidates with the original search value with something like<br>
JaroWinkler and a defined threshold.<br></blockquote><div><br>But the "soundslike" operator in Drools is a binary relational operator. I<br>cannot relate your two-step approach to that. Drools currently has no<br>
intent of exposing the word-to-key algorithm. But who knows - if there's<br>good cause...<br><br>-W<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
