Refined Soundex is similar to the Soundex algorithm, but it the number of consonant groups has been increased. This algorithm is helpful when search for alternative spellings, etc. More information on this algorithm can be found here: http://www.bluepoof.com/Soundex/info2.html
Metaphone, Soundex, and RefinedSoundex all implement a common Encoder interface, this is handy if one is implementing a system which needs to treating the encoding algorithm as a "pluggable" component. EncoderComparator, is merely a generalization of the SoundexComparator for the Encoder interface. -------- Tim O'Brien Transolutions, Inc. W 847-574-2143 M 847-863-7045
