# Soundex Keyword Search

If the spelling of a keyword is not quite accurate but is phonetically correct, a Soundex keyword query returns results that contain the keyword and phonetically similar keywords (using a Soundex algorithm).

You can enable Soundex keyword searches by using the Soundex parameter in the Content component configuration file.

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

For more information, see Soundex Keyword Search.

For example:

    http://localhost:9100/action=Query&Text=SOUNDEX(einstine)

This query returns documents that contain the term einstine, as well as documents that contain terms which phonetically match this term (for example, Einstein).
