What is Match Score and how does it work?
Match Score lets you identify whether an address is a perfect match or questionable with a 1-100 score. It is used to better indicate what parts of an address were changed to make the match. It can be a powerful method in evaluating your geocoding results.
A value of 100 means that the input address is nearly identical to the geocoded address. A value of 0 means that the parsed input address may be completely changed in order to obtain a geocoded address.
You have an option to select a Match Score from Geocoding Options page with below mentioned possible values:
- 50 or less: Match score between 0 and 50.
- 80 or less: Match score between 0 and 80.
- 100 or less: Match score between 0 and 100.
