Thanks!

Hello all,
I have released a new package on SqueakSource that contains SoundEx and DoubleMetaphone.
http://www.squeaksource.com/SoundsLike.html
This package adds soundsLike: to string
'titlebalm' soundsLike: 'teitelbaum'
You can also get the phenoticStringsFor: a word to store in a database for later queries.
PhoneticStringComparator defaultClass "SoundEx" new phoneticStringsFor: 'titlebalm' #('T341')
DoubleMetaphoneStringComparator new phoneticStringsFor: 'teitelbaum' #('TTLPM' 'TTLPM')
Let me know if you have any questions.
Regards,
Ron Teitelbaum

No rush...I am working on a custom recipe program for my wife and wanted to use it to search ingredients and still find something that was misspelled!
Thanks,

I did one but didn't release it anywhere. I did metaphone and double metaphone.
Maybe I can dig it up. When did you need it?

Does anyone know of a SoundEx algorithm in Squeak before I go write one myself?
Never hurts to ask!
