Optional Database Installation

To allow sharing your point level data with other Spectrum™ Technology Platform modules or services, the folder containing your point level files may now be in a directory other than the default Enterprise Tax Module database install location. This option is available for all optional databases installed in Enterprise Tax Module.

Matching Enhancements

Improved Handling of Hyphenated House Numbers

Improvements have been made in cases where the input address has a hyphenated house number (N-M). If the input street does not have a hyphenated range, the match is made using “N” as the house number and “M” as the unit number. For example, 18-20 Morton St., 02907 now returns 18 Morton St #20, 02907 since “Morton St” does not have a hyphenated range. In addition, in cases where the input address has a number, followed by a dash and an ordinal street, a match is now made and returns correct address information.

Enhancements in Handling of Misspelled Street Suffixes

Enhancements have been made to the handling of misspelled street suffixes. Additional matches are now made in spite of the misspellings. For example: 1861 Lincoln Hgy East, now matches to 1861 LINCOLN HWY E.

This enhancement also provides improved matches; for example, 5834 Brookstone Ovlk previously matched to 5834 BROOKSTON WALK NW, now returns a correct match to 5834 BROOKSTONE OVERLOOK NW.

Improved Matching of Addresses with Conjunction Tokens

Improved matching of addresses that contain conjunction tokens (AND, AT and &), such as:
  • Firms or POI’s that have conjunction tokens. For example: PARK & RIDE-OLDE TOWN ARVADA, 80002
  • Intersections that start with numeric/ordinal streets. For example: 6 1/2 W AND MILE 9 N, TX 78599
  • Addresses that start with a non-numeric house number. For example: 1504-B 3 AND 20 RD, EASLEY SC 29642
  • Street centroid matches where the street has a conjunction token. For example: HILL AND DALE RD, PLYMOUTH WI 53073

Improvement in Singleline Address Matching

Refinements have been made to singleline address matching to ensure the best address match is returned, regardless of geocode precision.
