Many of us use the Salesforce search engine to find a record in Salesforce. A record in Salesforce can be entered in a variety of ways. It's true that the values of duplicate records aren't identical, but they're similar. How can we link these identical records so that they are flagged as potential duplicate records?
Fuzzy Matching: A search method that uses fuzzy comparison algorithms to compare values will find values that are identical as well as exact matches. You are now able to find all duplicate records in Salesforce, even the ones that are well hidden.-
