Soundex.
<cf_assumption type="using verity">
You will have to hunt some, google some, and generally work to find it but 
there is a way you can 
use soundex within Verity. This gives you 'sounds like' searching.

I structured our search so it looks for the entered term and if nothing is 
returned then it searches 
using Soundex and it almost always returns something. It is not as accurate as 
google but works for us.
