Hello, I'm using Lucene 3.2 on a phone book app and phonetic search is a requirement. I've googled up "lucene phonetic search" but could not find many references. I did find this article, but I'm not sure about how updated it is: http://tech.javayogi.com/hello-world-lucene.html I couldn't find anything browsing on Lucene's docs or mail archives either. I did find this improvement on Jira ( https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-2413) but as far as I could understand, it seems like phonetic capability is scheduled to be added to lucene-core on 4.0 version only. Can anyone point to an example of phonetic indexing and searching? Should I use Phonetix ( http://www.companywebstore.de/tangentum/mirror/en/products/phonetix/index.html) stuff?
Thanks a lot, Felipe
