Add phonetic first letters (romanized)

[ManjotS]

Phonetic First letters should work like:

ttbmjk

finds

ਤੂ ਠਾਕੁਰੋ ਬੈਰਾਗਰੋ ਮੈ ਜੇਹੀ ਘਣ ਚੇਰੀ ਰਾਮ॥

[bogas04]

Is this same as #461 ?

Do you have some mapping for letters? like t can equal ਤ or ਠ, is there a mapping for all 35 u have? @ManjotS

We already have this feature. This is what romanized search does. We can do a version that removes the space requirement.

@ManjotS romanized search currently is by word. We dont have first letter search phonetic right?

[ManjotS]

search type 7 seems to do this

confirmation: https://api.banidb.com/v2/search/ttbmj?source=all&searchtype=7&page=1

The limitation here is that web is not allowing this to work because it expects x words (Which we should keep).

Web should create its own new search type for first letter english that uses searchtype 7 as well but allows passing letters only (and should enforce minimum 3-4 characters).
