Out of curiosity - has anyone implemented Search capabilities in Appian for Homophones?E. g. searching for a user in a database field for names, typing in 'Fill', Appian will search also for 'Phil'.
Thanks

Did you consider the soundex algorithm? You could create a dictionary of all your words + soundex value and where it is used. This "can" be done in MariaDB.
Or just use a search engine like Azure Search etc. You can tell it to use a Levenshtein distance of choice. Levenshtein calculates the number of character mutations required to get from one word to the other.
Hi Stefan,
thanks for the hints. That is very helpful.
