# Enable Soundex Keyword Searches

NOTE: You must enable Soundex keyword searches before you index the data that you want to search.

To enable Soundex keyword searches

1. Open the Content component configuration file in a text editor.

2. In the `[Server]` section, set the `Soundex` parameter to one of the following values. If the `[Server]` section does not contain the `Soundex` parameter, add it.

   1 | The Knowledge Discovery Soundex extension.
   2 | Standard Soundex.
   4 | Double Metaphone.
   8 | The Knowledge Discovery Double Metaphone extension.

3. Save and close the configuration file.

4. Restart the Content component for your changes to take effect.

5. Index documents into the Content component. After you finish indexing, you can perform Soundex keyword searches by using the `Query` action. The phonetic indexing and query uses the algorithm that you selected.
