fuzzy matching on names

dba94403Aug 8 2017 — edited Aug 14 2017

We are currently using edit_distance to find similarity on user's first name.  We like to expand the search capability such that it finds similarity in nicknames like Bill and William, Anthony and Tony.  Is there any feature in Oracle Text that can handle this?  Thanks.
