Modifier Reference
Outdated
Rule configuration documentation is not yet up to date. We have made major changes and still have the update the documentation. Please refer to our release notes for more details.
The following modifiers can be used from within matchers that support modifiers.
#
companyLegalForm
The companyLegalForm
modifier returns the legal form of the provided full
company name. If no legal form was identified, then the result is an empty text.
Examples:
Example Inc.
Inc.
Super Tech S.à.r.l
S.à.r.l
Best GmbH & Co. KG
GmbH & Co. KG
John Smith
``
#
companyName
The companyName
modifier returns the company name without the legal form. If
no legal form was identified, then the result is equal to the provided input.
This modifier is highly recommended when matching company names phonetically as
otherwise there would be a high similarity between short company names with the
same legal form, e.g. AAA Inc.
and BBB Inc.
.
Examples:
Example Inc.
Example
Super Tech S.à.r.l
Super Tech
Best GmbH & Co. KG
Best
