Abstract
This document describes a non-transitory computer readable media programmed to enrich an entered record submitted to be matched with a dataset record stored on a data storage device. The enrichment is done by supplementing data in the entered record with customer data from a dataset. The media is further programmed to search through a plurality of dataset records in the dataset for the entered record. The search is programmed to first determine if the entered record unambiguously matches one of the dataset records or if the entered record unambiguously does not match one of the dataset records. If the entered record does not unambiguously match one of the dataset records, score match characteristics using a Fellegi-Sunter algorithm, save the score as a highest score if the score is above the highest score less a threshold, and save a location of one of the dataset records as a matching record if the score is above a previous highest score. Next, tune a Fellegi-Sunter algorithm parameter with the data from the entered record and data from one of the dataset records; and when the dataset records have been checked, return the matching record.
