Master Index Match Engine Reference

Master Index Match Engine Data Types

The Master Index Match Engine is built on a flexible framework that allows you to customize and create matching rules for various types of data. The match engine provides an extensive set of comparison functions for matching on various types of fields, such as numbers, dates, single characters, and so on. The match engine also provides more specialized comparison functions for searching on specific types of data, such as person names, address fields, social security numbers, genders. You can define custom comparison functions and custom standardization logic for different data types or variants on data types. These customizations are easily incorporated into a master index application, allowing you to completely customize the match and standardization process for your specific data format.
