  • Publication number: 20140143236
    Abstract: A system and method for the matching addresses is provided. Addresses may be received from a search engine or other source for purposes of matching. Address parts in the addresses may be contextually identified. Identified address parts, including their associated data, that have address part types that are alike may be compared to one another and a contextual matching score may be calculated and assigned. A free format token analysis of the addresses may also be performed in parallel with, before, or after, the contextual identification, and a free format matching score may be calculated. An address likeness score may be calculated and assigned based on the contextual matching score and the free format matching score.

  • Publication number: 20130097134
    Abstract: A system and method for indexing and searching a free format data source is provided. Indexing the free format data source includes normalizing data from the free format data source and creating a master index based on the normalized data. The master index may be updated through synchronization with the free format data source when a change in the data occurs. A search query may be executed against the master index and/or one or more child indexes to search for records. The search query may be normalized and transformed before being executed. The master index may be replicated into the one or more child indexes for scaling and load balancing purposes. Searches may be performed by search agents in parallel at the master index and/or the child indexes.
