Match Configuration for Address Data (Repository)

The default match configuration file, matchConfigFile.cfg, defines several match types for the kinds of address data typically included in the match string. You can customize the existing match types or create new match types for the data being processed. The following match types are typical for matching on address data.

In addition, you can use any of these generic match types for matching on address data.

The match configuration file appears under the Match Engine node of the master index project. For more information about the comparison functions used for each match type and how the weights are tuned, see Customizing the Match Configuration and Match Configuration Comparison Functions for Sun Match Engine (Repository).
