Method String.soundex()

Method soundex

string soundex(string word)

Description

Returns the soundex value of word according to the original Soundex algorithm, patented by Margaret OŽDell and Robert C. Russel in 1918. The method is based on the phonetic classification of sounds by how they are made. It was only intended for hashing of english surnames, and even at that it isn't that much of a help.
