Questions

Thanks for creating this library! I have not looked into the code in detail, but would like to ask a few questions?

• it looks like the "soundex" functionality from Apache is heavily biased to the English language only?

• Do you have any estimates of the performance/complexity of the algorithms involved? I am considering this library for searching/iterating through in-memory data objects that have no other indexing.

Hi

• You are right the use of soundex is limited to english. But it is relatively easy to plugin new functions that support other languages.
• The complexity measured in our tests is almost linear (see here for details). This would work well for in-memory data
