There are some soundex implementations for REBOL.

http://www.rebol.org/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/rebol/view-script.r?script=soundex.r
And simetrics may be of interest:

http://www.rebol.org/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/rebol/documentation.r?script=simetrics.r

Actually, the results flatter us -- they include the source (sometimes 
slightly modified) of various scavanged scripts -- like Makedoc, 
Simetrics, Skimp and other externally-sourced scripts.

They should really be excluded from the REBOL.org CGI size. I'd guess 
that'd be a 15% drop in actual size.

Simetrics: Great piece of work, Francois, and nicely documented too.

As you know, REBOL.org has been using it internally to offer alternatives 
for mistyped script names, eg:

Joe <why not a forum here on altme ?> Forums have the advantage of 
immediacy, but they are hard to keep track of or to find again after 
a few months [Can anyone *easily* retreive info from the defunct 
REBOL and REBOL2 worlds?]

The REBOL.org script discussion feature is a little-used but useful 
way of holding a highly focussed discussion (about one script) that 
will be easy to find again in the future.

It's worth experimenting with both [Altme groups and REBOL.org discussioon] 
to find the natural home for specific discussions.

Sunanda, how did you change the simetrics matching? (I noticed there 
were several algorithms in the simetrics.r file, so I suppose you 
 selected a better one.)

Hello, I would like to announce the availability of  Simetrics on 
rebol.org. This library implements a few effective and widely used 
metrics for measuring string similarity and for searching documents 
amongst a large collection of documents. A extensive documentation 
is also available on rebol.org and a discussion forum has been opened.
