Subject: Phonetic representation LENGHT for DMETAPHONE, is there a way to make it longer?

Message-ID: <CA+fQee=8y_BB17sHg8YKyrYLe+vdBhKd2JHZjwn6b_bv2uxnjQ@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Hello people,
Please, I am working on a PoC for Real-time Person Identification, and one
of the critical aspects of it is to support both minor misspelling and
phonetic variations of First, Middle, and Last name. Like HarinGton ==
HarrinBton or RaphEAl == RafAEl. It's working for longer names, but it's a
bit more imprecise for names like Lee and John. I am using Double Metaphone
through dmetaphone() and dmetaphone_alt() in PostgreSQL 13.3 (Supabase.io).
And although I appreciate Double Metaphone it returns a (too?) short string
as the phonetic representation compared to metaphone(string, length).
metaphone() has parameters to make the resulting phonetic representation
longer. I investigated dmetaphone() and couldn't find anything other than
the default function. Is there a way of making dmetaphone() and
dmetaphone_alt() return a longer phonetic representation similar to
metaphone()'s, but with a ALT variation?.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
