Tell me more ×  Is there a way to configure SoundEx properties
in ArcEngine?  This query: "100 Fairvew Rd returns "100 Fairview
Rd"  But this query: "100 Farview Rd" returns no results  Is
there a way to make the SoundEx a bit less rigid?  Here are some
concrete examples I would like to get to work if possible (ie.
these are my specs)  100 cen => central ave  100 w laur ave ->
100 w laurel ave  I'm using the IAddressCandidates2 interface to
get my candidates.  IArray resultsArray =
addressCandidates.FindAddressCandidates(addressProperties);

said, I don't think soundex is configurable, and it would have

an address matcher that was as permissive as possible, I used
the Levenshtein Distance formula. My solution was to normalize
the address, query based on the first 3 l
