Phonetic Matching

Phonetic matching is the default mode. It is used when a filter contains no wildcards. It uses a Soundex-style algorithm that looks for similar sounding matches, but also permits more relaxed syllable matching and word completion.

This is a lenient form of matching. Use this mode if you prefer to get extra results rather than miss some results.
