Error-tolerant Address Search
Anyone who has ever worked with addresses knows how difficult it may be to retrieve an address in the database. If for instance the name “Estate Agency Osborne” is saved and a search is conducted for “Osbourn Real Estate” – then possibly the search could take very long!
q.address conducts searches error-tolerant and also locates tricky cases:
- Phonetic errors like Ellie/Elly, Osborn/Osborne/Osbourne or Cerni/Tscherny
- Typing errors like incorrect and jumbled letters or errors in the addresses (incorrect postal codes or wrong city- and street names)
- Changed order of words which frequently appear in business addresses, for instance “Estate Agency Osborne” instead of “Osbourn Real Estate”
- Abbreviations and acronyms like “WHO” for “World Health Organization”
q.address implements the same search technology like the interactive duplicate search. Incidentally directory search is also based on the same search technology and provides an impressive evidence for the search quality and speed. more…
The error-tolerant q.address search substantially simplifies daily operation and should not be absent at any workstation.
