It is used in a public search function for people’s names. Works very well and was a breeze to implement once I knew of its existence. Would have been a big hassle to implement otherwise.

I think we can use SOUNDEX and DIFFERENCE in search engine.There can be value in database which “Like operator” ignore,in that scenerio we can use SOUNDEX and DIFFERENCE.

For example, if i search “Lebron Jams” and the database has values “Lebron James”, “Lebron Jim”, “Michael James”, etc , the results that system returns should be ordered by similarity between strings, i.e, the results should be “Lebron James”, “Lebron Jim” and “Michael James”.

It is hard to implement this by using sql’s ‘like’.
