phonetic search capability? YES. View500 provides support for approximate matching on a search request,
including phonetic matching and spelling correction, truncation matching,

Powerful Approximate Matching
• Human
users won't always be precise in searching a directory
• Names can be
mis-heard, transcribed incorrectly or shortened.
• A user may not
be familiar with the conventional function or service keywords
• An acronym or
abbreviation could have been used rather than the full title
• View500 supports
a range of approximate matching strategies to better support searches
by human
users
- fuzzy logic
used to rank and return the best results
- specialised
indexes for rapid evaluation of approximate matches on large databases
