After importing tiger data, a feature record for "Dexter St" gets a metaphone value of "TKTR". This is confirmed by manually testing the metaphone library:
$sqlite3 /opt/tiger/geocoder.db sqlite> .load lib/geocoder/us/sqlite3.so sqlite> select metaphone('Dexter'); TKTR
This, compared to the results from Text::Metaphone:
$ irb irb(main):001:0> require 'rubygems' => true irb(main):002:0> require 'text' => true irb(main):003:0> Text::Metaphone.metaphone 'Dexter' => "TXTR"
This is preventing valid addresses on Dexter St from being geocoded at the range level.
