In Omniscope 2.8 we have added the ability to perform fuzzy matching in the Record/Field filter operations and in the Merge/Join block.

In both cases you can select either the Soundex or Levenshtein matching routines. Please let us know if there are any other routines you would like us to include.

In the Record/Field filter blocks you can perform fuzzy matching by selecting a fuzzy match routine from the operation drop-down. So whereas before you might have chosen "Filter records where Employee name = 'Angelina Joline'", you can now create the rule "Filter records where Employee name fuzzy matches 'Angelina Joline". Depending on the matching routine selected this may match records "Angelina Joyline", "Angelina "Joleen" and other similar names.

In the "Merge/Join" block you can specify the fuzzy match routine in the operation drop-down for each join criterion specified.

Please let us know if you have any questions.
