Remarks	This match definition generates one or more match codes for each input string. Each match code represents a suggestion for what might be the true value of the input string; this enables two strings to be matched even when one or both strings contain a spelling mistake. For example, the name PRAIS might match the name PARIS, or the name NICLOE might match the name NIKI. Note that a consequence of the generation of multiple match codes is that a record might be placed in more than one cluster by a subsequent clustering operation. Therefore, special attention should be given to the entity resolution process when using this definition. For more information on suggestion-based matching, refer to the Suggestion-Based Matching section of the DataFlux Data Management Studio Online Help.
