FatFingers.com HELP PLEASE

Does anyone know how one could go about making a website that did similar functions to this one: FatFingers.com
I have an idea of how to do it, but it seems like the programming would be too extensive.
This is what I was thinking; lets use string "ipod" for this scenario:
break up the string into characters: i p o d
Depending on what the character is, perform a function on it, using a switch and case statement: case i, function_i()
The function would replace the character with u, o, j, and k building onto an ongoing string
This would be applied to each letter and you would be left with
upod
opod
jpod
kpod
But another problem that arises is that this would yield too many results and I don't think the ebay search could handle a string so long.
Well, thanks in advance, I won't be back on here until sunday when my finals are over.
e-mail if you can figure something out: ronsuave87{@}hotmail/dot\com
