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.
