First Name Search

I'm working on an app where I need to do a search for like and similar first
name matches. For example a search for John would bring back Jon, John,
Jonathan, etc.

Working with asp.net and sql server. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Kent

Without going into a lot of detail, you definitely will want to check
out the System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex class. Also of interest
will be creating full-text indexes on SQL Server, and using some of the
special TSQL string-searching functions that get enabled on those (such
as CONTAINS).
