Matches in the R category indicate that the record was matched by reverse geocoding. The first three characters of the R result code indicate the type of match found. R geocode results include an additional letter to indicate the dictionary from which the match was made. This is always an A, indicating address dictionary; reverse geocoding is supported by the address dictionary only (not user dictionaries.)
