how can i implement soundex algorithm in rails app?? my database is mysql I want to search a particular table's data using soundex
Model.all(:conditions => [“SOUNDEX(my_field)=?”,soundex_string])
or
Model.all(:conditions => [“my_field SOUNDS LIKE ?”,normal_string])
It’s all right there in the mysql manual: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/string-functions.html
Best regards
