This is an implementation of the Metaphone algorithm for Brazilian Portuguese inspired by a number of works, chiefly among which is the ["Portuguese Metaphone implementation in PHP"](http://informatica.varzeapaulista.sp.gov.br/metaphone/) by ["Prefeitura de Várzea Paulista"](http://portal.varzeapaulista.sp.gov.br/)

[github.com/anaelcarvalho/elasticsearch-analysis-metaphone\_ptBR](https://github.com/anaelcarvalho/elasticsearch-analysis-metaphone_ptBR)

A new token filter named 'br\_metaphone' is made available for use with custom filters and analyzers.

Version 1.0.0 requires Elasticsearch 5.0.0.

Sample configuration:

```
{
  "settings": {
    "analysis": {
      "analyzer": {
        "myAnalyzer": {
          "tokenizer": "standard",
          "filter": [
            "br_metaphone"
          ]
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

```

Feedback is very welcome - thanks!
