SearchMatch

SearchMatch

The SearchMatch REST API searches for records that are fuzzy matches. The API identifies the matching records based on specific business entity fields that are configured as match columns in the MDM Hub. Before you use the SearchMatch API, use the List Match Columns API to identify the match columns for a business entity.
Optionally, you can specify a match rule set instead of match columns. To use a match rule set for the query, ensure that the Enable Search by Rules option is enabled for the match rule set. For information on configuring match columns and match rule sets, see the
Multidomain MDM Configuration Guide
.
You can use the AND, IN, and RANGE operators in the query.
To include specific fields in the query results, specify the fields or a business entity view that includes the fields. You can specify the sort order to view the records in the query results in ascending or descending order.
The API uses the GET method to query the business entity fields and returns the records that are fuzzy matches along with their match scores and associated match rules.
