String Substitutions

The string substitution table substitutes search text in the document and in the database. It is used to normalize the database text with the query texts. The Search Text should be unique and should not be a substring from the Replacement Text. A typical example is when street names are normalized from "Avenue", "Aven." and "Ave." to "Av." Substring replacements apply not only to whole words but also to word substrings.

Note When you want to replace a substring or a word where the characters you add are on the ignore list, these characters are removed before the string substitution. The conversion to lower case also apply if "Ignore Case" option is checked.

You can export your current list of string substitutions to be used for other databases as well. You can import string substitutions from another database from the same or another Kofax Search and Matching Server or a Kofax Transformation Modules fuzzy database.
