Description

Thiago Luiz Alves

This class can be used to search for similar words in a text using soundex.

It converts words to be searched in a regular expression that would match other words that would result in the same text using the soundex algorithm.

The class can then search a given text using the resulting regular expressions and computes the level of similarity of the searched text with the search words.

Prize: One copy of RadPHP XE		 Soundex is an algorithm that transforms words in such way that becomes easier to detect which words sound similar in a given idiom.

This class can transform words in a regular expression that can match other words in a given text using the soundex algorithm.

This is a clever way to very quickly find similar sounding words in a large text.
