A `phonetic` token filter that can be configured with different `encoder` types: `metaphone`, `soundex`, `caverphone`, `refined_soundex`, `double_metaphone` (uses "commons codec":http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/codec/api-release/org/apache/commons/codec/language/package-summary.html).

The `replace` parameter (defaults to `true`) controls if the token processed should be replaced with the encoded one (set it to `true`), or added (set it to `false`).
