Soundex algorithms #2021

Open fisharebest opened 5 years ago

fisharebest commented 5 years ago

We currently use the Russel and Daitch-Mokotoff algorithms.

Others may give better results

I carried our some tests on my site LTR and RTL names using Beider-Morse. https://stevemorse.org/census/soundex.html?name=Pilowsky&version=bmver310&type=gen and https://stevemorse.org/hebrew/dmheb.html

For now, for instance I do not see the same result for Tchichelnitzky and ציצלניצקי Pilovsky and פילובסקי Jankeloff, Jankelov and יענקלוב Grymblat, Grünblatt and גרינבלט Radsevitsch, Radziewicz, Radsewitch, Rudzewicz, ראדצעוויץ, רצביץ Jacobsohn, Jakobson, יעקובסון Ørsted, Örsted Æpel, Äppel

I will contact Stephen Morse.
