Matching Preferences

You can use the options in Matching to set match criteria and restrictions so that the matching can be as strict or relaxed as you need.

Options Description
Match Mode Standard - Provides the best balance of accurate geocoding, few false matches, and high performance. This requires a close (not necessarily exact) street name match.

Close - Uses the strictest matching rules and requires an exact street name match.

Relaxed - Allows a loose match and generates the most match candidates. Use this mode if you are not confident that your input is clean; free of misspellings andincomplete addresses.

Search Type Search on addresses, points of interest and categories, world places or choose All.
Administrative Area Search Limit the search area by an administrative boundary, such as city, town or postal code. Specify the administrative area on input.
Match on Address Number Candidates must match the input address number.
