Hi Steffen,

as i like such features i think it's a bit overhead for IS.

Soundex only works with english, there is no "easy" integration of such 
feature for all languages (i didn't looked at the french one)

Also the ajax completition sounds great, but as complex the search 
algorythm is, i fear that it's not done with good performance.

Remember that normal IS is a performance killer for many sites with vig 
big result tables, don't speaking about external file search.
