SOUNDEX search engine - how to do it ?

Recommended Posts

Hi there!

 

i'm relative new to mysql, and I'm trying the first time to realize a search engine with soundex-support (to find similar sounding words)

 

But I'm stuck...my problem:

 

I got a table with firms/concerns.

 

It looks like this (not exactly...):

 

id | companyname | adress | description | search_words ....

 

 

My problem:

The search_words - fields contains some words like "car engine tires leatherseats tuning", perhaps some more.

 

Is there any way to search the search_words field with soundex, or must i create another table with search_words, where every word has its own entry ?

(I guess I need to do this, but before I do i wanted to ask you if there's another/better way to do this.)

 

thx in advance,

greets ben
