How about Soundex Code? I thought the whole reason for the development of
this code is so that people don't have to research 30 different spellings,
but rather just one code. Even a simple name like Hazard gets spelt
different ways (tho not 30!!). Soundex is not used in search engines as much
as it should be at genealogy sites. Is there some technical reason for this?
