Table 1. Output Data Options

Option Name

Description

Return only similar firm names

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.
