Default GRO Index search issues

Does anyone know the differece between 'Phonetically similar variations' and 'Similar sounding variations' in the GRO search?

If I search with the name Clark in mmn, neither of those options give me results including Clarke, but if use Clark in the main surname box I get loads of name variations when using phoenetic (most of which are not phonetically similar) and just Clark and Clarke when using similar.
