Smart Searching and Matching

You no longer have to give up on a listing because an exact match wasn’t found. Set your own level of matching tolerance and choose your own matching criteria to find the closest match. Telco SmartSearch takes the query parameters (Name, Address, City, State, ZIP, etc.) and applies unique and proprietary matching algorithms to find:

  • Exact Match: complete match of all fields
  • Almost Exact: last name, house, street, (city/ZIP), state
  • Loosely Matched: last name and state

Exact Match is most useful for reverse number lookups, or specific business cases requiring exact matching. Almost Exact matching can return records at are not quite exact, for instance:

  • Query: George Costanza on 1234 Oak St.
  • Telco SmartSearch Finds: George Costaza on 1233 Oak St.
