The new Sounds Like feature can be used when either the exact spelling of the first and last name of a person is unknown or the first and last name entered as a search by the user do not retrieve usable documents.

"A Sounds Like search returns names that the researcher might never have thought of entering into the search, producing a more complete result set," said Paul Gazzolo, vice president of LexisNexis' Large Law Firm Marketing. "It saves time and increases productivity by automatically finding phonetic matches and nicknames and then ranking the results based on relevancy."
