Date: 12/07/08 (MySQL Communtiy) Keywords: html, sql, google Heyo. I'm putting together a user search function and I would like to include a Facebook-style name recognition system that understands name synonyms. A search for Will would also return Bill and William, for example. To some extent I could see a Soundex search kinda accomplishing this, but I'm wondering if anyone has any really good ideas as to how to implement this. At the moment I'm trying to find a sql dump of name synonyms which I would use for cross-references.
