Free Format Address Support
A formatted address is a set of specific rules designed by the USPS national database with punctuations, abbreviations and proper ordering of address components for reliable deliverable purposes. Publication 28 is the 200 page address formatting guideline published by the USPS for the United States Postal Service.
Mail*STAR provides free format address support which does not require that input addresses conform to USPS Publication-28 standards for accurate address correction. Mail*STAR treats input address data as a data stream.
The entire address can appear on a single line or be divided and incorrectly ordered.
Phonetic Address Lookup
Mail*STAR uses multiple phonetic matching algorithms and performs name or token searches for address element lookups. For example, within the city context of “HOUSTON TX”, the street lookup clue “SPNSH” provides five street candidates based on a phonetic match with “SPANISH” including “OLD SPANISH TRAIL”.
RDBMS Dynamic SQL Lookup
Relational technology and dynamic SQL permit candidate address lookup based on complex criteria. Finding all possible candidates given:
- a ZIP Code™ list implied by city/state.
- a street list resulting from an inexact street clue.
- a known apartment number is made possible by building SQL queries dynamically.
