GS_FIND_MATCH_MODE - geostan_1 - 2024.01

Long

Controls the closeness-of-match rules used for matching in GsFindWithProps.

This property affects how GsDataSet performs, specifically how the input address is parsed. For this reason, only alter this find property before calling GsDataSet to input the address and lastline data. If you alter this property after calling GsDataSet, the results of the subsequent find will be unpredictable.

AnyForward

Compatible with: AnyForward and Any.

Conflicts with: GeoStanReverse and GeoStanFindFirstStreet. In reverse geocoding, this setting is ignored.

Relax, Interactive, Close, Exact, Custom, and CASS.

GS_MODE_EXACT: Requires an exact name match. Generates the fewest number of possibles to search.

GS_MODE_CLOSE: Requires a very close name match. Generates a moderate number of possibles to search

GS_MODE_RELAX: Requires a close name match. Generates a large number of possibles to search.

GS_MODE_INTERACTIVE: For singleline address matching only. Allows for more flexible matching patterns and may, in some cases, return additional possible matches than Relax match mode.

GS_MODE_CASS: Requires a close name match. Generates a modest number of possibles to search. This setting imposes additional rules to ensure compliance with the USPS regulations for CASS software. For example, this mode disables intersection matching, and matching to the User Dictionary matches for standardization

GS_MODE_CUSTOM: Allows applications to specify individual "must match" field matching rules for address number, address line, city, ZIP Code, state.

Note: Not supported in singleline address matching.
