Generating ranges for Simple Search

Perform the following tasks to implement a simple search application:

Call SSA-NAME3 API

ssan3_get_ranges

to generate ranges based on the search input. The input request may contain information about a Person Name, Organization Name, Address, or a combination. The call to

ssan3_get_ranges

API should pass

Field=Generic_Field

With the ranges returned by

ssan3_get_ranges

API, retrieve the source record references from the index table. These source record references now become the file records. Optionally, if an entity type was stored along with the keys, use it to filter the ranges returned by entity type.

For each candidate record, call

ssan3_match

function and pass the function to the search record and file record. The call to

ssan3_match

function should use

Generic

as the SSA-NAME3 purpose.

Process the results using score and decision returned by to

ssan3_match

function.
