Option.FirmNameSearch |
Specifies whether to use firm name matching logic to enhance address matching. Firm matching logic matches a business name in the input to recognized business names.

Note: This type of match is not available when processing in CASS
mode.

Building search
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
Option.BuildingSearch |
Specifies whether to attempt to obtain a street address when the input address contains a building name with no suite or unit number. When this option is disabled, the geocoder is able to match to building names only if there is a unit number in the input. For example, if the building search option were disabled and you entered this input:
5001 Chrysler Bldg The street address would be returned:
405 Lexington Ave With this option enabled, the geocoder is also able to obtain a street address when only a building name with no unit number is provided. For example, if you enable this option and provide this address:
Chrysler Bldg You will get the street address:
405 Lexington Ave Note: This type of match is not available when processing in CASS
mode.

Point of Interest matching
The optional Point Of Interest (POI) Index file (poi.gsi) included with the Master Location Data and HERE Point Addresses datasets provides expanded support in alias name matching.
- Add the MLD or HERE Point Addresses data as a Database Resource.
- Set Option.BuildingSearch to Y. The POI Index file will automatically be searched when this option is enabled and a firm, building or POI name is specified in the AddressLine1 input field.
- If an alias match is made to the POI Index file, the IsAlias output
field, or, in the case of a centerline match,
CenterlineIsAlias field, returns
A11
. To enable the return of these fields, set Option.OutputRecordType =Q
andN
respectively.
