Hi,
I'm currently build a replacement search service, it searches Scottish
human names and its essential that the data being returned is as close to
the current solution as possible....
Imagine this -
I put in a search for "Michael Heaney", I can either use a bool across both
a fore/surname field or I have a concatenated field of bothe fore/surname...
The current search solution returns all matching "Michael Heaney" but also
a few "Michael Heavey"', how would I approach this best, not only for this
case but to try and get similar names being returned in my results?
I have tried a bool fuzzy query over the two fields however im finding it
difficult to get appropriate results.
Thanks, Nathan.

as well

Thanks for your reply. I just realised i didnt mention, however I am using
the phonetic plugin for elasticsearch and I am currently using Metaphone..
"The metaphone code for Heavey is HF.
The metaphone code for Heaney is HN.
These surnames do not have the same metaphone code."
The codes are different and this is the same for soundex. I think the query
is what needs adjusting.
Anyone else any suggestions?
