Phonetic Search
Phonetic searching uses an algorithm to break the name into a phonetic key based on the consonants. Phonetic matching allows you to locate a name when you don't know the exact spelling or the spelling varies. For example, doing a phonetic search on "John" locates the names "John" and "Jon." The search doesn't find partial phonetic keys. For example, searching on "John" does not find "Johnny."
Note: For phonetic searching to work, in the Link Console program, set Link Mode to "Do Not Link" and ensure that the Link service is running.
