Abstract :
A new algorithm for Arabic Soundex Function is proposed. The proposed algorithm is an improvement of the corresponding to the English Soundex Function which was developed in 1918. The algorithm can be used in searching and retrieving names written in Arabic language, which can be stored in a database of digital library. The algorithm is designed using intuitionistic fuzzy logic (fuzzy logic as a special case) to determine the ´degree of closeness´ between the compared Arabic names
