Alphas
Specifics
- Only alphabetic characters will be compared.
Summary
- This algorithm will remove all characters that are not in the English alphabet and compares strings based on this criteria.
Returns
- Returns a match is all alphabetic characters match exactly.

Recommended Usage
- Hybrid Deduper, where a single incoming record can quickly be evaluated independently against each record in an existing large master database.
- Databases created via real-time data entry where audio likeness errors are introduced.
- Databases of US and English language origin.
Not Recommended For
- Gather/scatter, survivorship, or record consolidation of sensitive data.
- Quantifiable data or records with proprietary keywords not associated in our knowledgebase tables.
Do Not Use With
- UTF-8 data. This algorithm was ported to MatchUp with the assumption that a character equals one byte, and therefore results may not be accurate if the data contains multi-byte characters.
