Parameter

Description

Option.ReturnOnlySimilarFirmNames

This option applies to the U.K. only.

Specifies whether to return firm names only when the input firm name is similar to the firm name in the geocoding database. For example, if the input firm name is "Pitney Bowes" but the geocoding database returns "Pitney Bowes Software, Inc.", these two firm names are not similar. In most cases the input firm name must match the firm name in the database exactly. Some differences in abbreviations are considered similar enough to result in the firm name being returned.

Y
Yes, return only firm names that are similar to the input firm name.
N
No, return firm names regardless of whether they are close to the input firm name. Default.
