Intuitive searching is only available with the USA, FRX, AUS, AUG, AUE, NZL and NZG datasets.
Intuitive searching is designed with simplicity in mind. Address suggestions are displayed as the user is typing in an address. The required address can be selected from the list of suggestions at any point.
Intuitive searching enables users to search for an address without having to type the complete address. For example, if the user types in the following string:
12 cockscr
Just this small section of the address will be enough to correctly identify the address: 12 Cocks Crow, Staunton IL 62088. More common street names may require further typing to accurately capture the correct address.
The Intuitive Search engine is designed so that the user can enter addresses quickly and easily, using a real-time picklist. Fuzzy matching and delimiters (such as commas and dashes) are handled accurately and transparently.
The Intuitive engine has aspects of both the Single Line and Typedown engines in its operation. The user types the address similarly to how they would use the Single Line engine, and selects the correct address from the Typedown-style picklist.
Intuitive search does not require further refinement after the address has been entered, as it starts with the most specific address elements. As the user types, the picklist automatically updates with suggestions. The Intuitive Search mode only supports picklists returned in a flattened mode.
Picklists of results for the Intuitive Search engine are always returned in a flattened mode.
In the diagram, the shaded boxes represent user actions; all others are integration actions.
The first search is performed after a minimum of three alphanumeric characters, not including the Premises or Sub-Premises address elements, have been input.
From this point a search will be carried out with each additional character added to the input line, though a delay may be set so fast typists do not perform many unnecessary searches.
A picklist will be displayed when an address match is found. This can then be selected and sent to be formatted.
To validate the Intuitive search result and append match flags, the integrator should pass the resulting match to the Verification engine.
