Phonetic Search in normal search

Question

Is it possible to have phonetic search in the normal search and not only in the peoplesearch?

I read that in SP2010 the KQL does not support phonetic search in Non-People-Searches. What about SP2013 and what are the problems there?

I tried it with the REST-API but ?enablephonetic=true only works for firstnames.

Solution

Phonetic search is only for people searching. This is still the case in 2013. Its more specifically called "Phonetic People Matching".
