Building, Firm name and Point of Interest matching

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. The input firm name does not need to be spelled correctly to obtain a match. A soundex algorithm is used to match the firm name. A suite or unit number is not required to make the match.

One of the following:

Always

Always attempt to match using firm name matching. If firm name matching fails, attempt to match using address matching.

OnAddressLineFail

Use firm matching only if a match cannot be determined using address matching.

Never

Do not use firm matching. Default. Note that the firm name may be corrected even if you specify Never if a match can be found using the address line data.

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
New York, NY 10174

The street address would be returned:

405 Lexington Ave
RM 5001
New York, NY 10174-5002

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
New York, NY 10174

You will get the street address:

405 Lexington Ave
New York, NY 10174-00

Y

Use firm name matching logic. Default.

N

Do not use firm name matching logic.
