Default Similar Cell Data Comparison?

Is there any function or add-on that can allow me to compare two cells and
provide some type of similarity score? Would like to determine matches such
as "John Smith" to "Johnny Smith Jr.", or "5006" to 50006" at to flag those
rows some how.

Thanks for any ideas.
