Regarding matching the existing 5-digit postal codes with the new 7-digit postal codes: at the default sensitivity, the last 2-digits of a 7-digit postal code are ignored (as seen in the last two examples). At sensitivity 90 and 95, 5-digit postal codes do not match 7-digit postal codes. For 7-digit postal codes: at sensitivity 90, the first 6-digits are considered. At sensitivity 95, all 7-digits are considered. |
