Comment (by Presskopp):

 While this sounds like a good idea, I have some notes:

 ''MySQL SOUNDS LIKE is used as SOUNDEX(expr) = SOUNDEX(expr) to retrieve
 strings sounds similar.
 Soundex is a phonetic algorithm for indexing names after English
 pronunciation of sound.''
 [http://www.w3resource.com/mysql/string-functions/mysql-sounds_like-
 function.php]

 Not everyone uses an english environment, so this would be exclusive for
 the english..

 ''The LIKE operator is commonly used to select data based on patterns.
 Using the LIKE operator in the right way is essential to increase the
 query performance.''
 [http://www.mysqltutorial.org/mysql-like]

 Hmm. Do we want to be performant here?

 And if i understand it right, the Damerau–Levenshtein distance would fit
 even better? How this is to be implemented I don't know.

 That's all I can say, please tell me if I'm wrong somewhere
