http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.1/static/fuzzystrmatch.html You should be able to do it with the django .extra() method easy enough. I believe you can also make a soundex index on columns to improve the performance. The python jellyfish library is nice for pre-calculating phonetic strings and storing them in the database to compare against, or for small data sets that you want to process in python. A third option is something like https://github.com/niwibe/djorm-ext-pgfulltext which uses postgres full text search. The full text search uses tokens that are normalized. I'm not sure it it would normalize amanjit to amanjeet with the default configuration, and may be overkill for what you want. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
