Just added this to test it. Might appear in the main search it feedback is good. Basically the 'Go There' box will now search on words that sound like the ones you searched for as well as those which contain the text, so you can mis-spell things and it will still find them.

Not sure how useful it will be with place names. Comments please. Fuzzy results are currently in italic font.

MySQL soundex() function. PHP has more flexibility but isn't as easy to program.
