Solved mongodb mongodb-.net-driver soundex

Does MongoDB support soundex or fuzzy matching? I want to spot dupes of basic contact name and address fields. I'm using the official C# driver. Thanks

Mongodb doesn't support soundex matching, but it has Full Text Search.

Also,

You can always just store the soundex-encoded string in a separate field in mongo and search against that. Soundex is a really trivial algorithm and should only take a handful of lines.

MongoDB has no real fulltext search. Pattern matching is no fulltext search. – Felice 13/4, 2011 at 15:0

You should have quoted the followup of your quote...sorry but using soundex for this purpose is just a bad idea. – Felice 13/4, 2011 at 17:5

@AndreasJung: in the meantime MongoDB has implemented FTS. Let's delete our comments. – Heida 13/5, 2014 at 4:0
