Recommended Usage
Hybrid Deduper, where a single incoming record can quickly be evaluated independently against each record in an existing large master database.
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.
