Zusammenfassung:A system and method for the matching of database records based on the similarity between fields in the database records and fields in the search queries is provided. A set of database records may be received from a search engine for further refinement of the search results. The database records may be assigned matching strength points, based on comparisons of fields in the search query and fields in the database records. The records that do not meet predetermined qualifying criteria, based on the matching strength points, may be rejected. The remaining records may be merged together, based on the similarity between fields of the remaining records.
