sql server full text search : "Sounds-like" queries on full-text catalogs?

Not really. You probably need to incorporate a metaphone or sonudex
expansion to do this. You might be able to use the thesaurus features here.

Hello, All.

I need to do queries agains full-text catalogs, but I need that be performed
using a "sounds-like" criteria. Is the full-text in SQL Server 2005 able to
do that kind of query?

Ok, thanks. Do you think the Double Metaphone works well (off course, if you
know it)?

Double Metaphone wouldn't be my first choice. I think the Thesaurus would
be gigantic if you tried to incorporate all of the possible phonetic
encodings into it. You might look into NYSIIS if you wanted to build your
own phonetic expansion. Here are several phonetic encoding algorithms, and
source code is also available:
http://www.sqlservercentral.com/columnists/mcoles/sql2000dbatoolkitpart3.asp

Algorithms implemented there include Double Metaphone, Celko Soundex,
Daitch-Mokotoff, NYSIIS, plus a couple of edit distance algorithms.

Hey Hilary, let's build a phonetic word-breaker :)
