No candidates are returned in the order that the dictionary was added to the database regardless of input language You may want to use a balanced strategy between match rate and geographic precision That is you may want to geocode as many records as possible automatically but at the same time want to minimize the number of weaker matches false positives For example false positives can occur when the geocoder finds a street that sounds like the input street finds the same street in another city if postal code match is not required finds the street but with a different house number if house number is not required The following settings may achieve a good balance between match rate and precision CloseMatchesOnly Specify Y e MustMatchHouseNumber Specify Y e MustMatchStreet Specify Y FallbackToPostal Specify N Data Options The Data tab allows you to specify which databases to use in geocoding Databases contain the address and geocode data necessary to determine the geocode for a given address There are two kinds of databases standard databases and custom databases Standard databases are those supplied by Pitney Bowes Software and based on address and geocoding data from postal authorities and suppliers of geographical data Custom databases are databases you create to enhance or augment standard databases for your particular needs The following table lists the options available fo2.
