When running conflicts, do you often enter varied spellings of names or abbreviations to make sure the check is comprehensive?Rippe & Kingston found that it would be helpful for Conflict Searches to accommodate for the use of nicknames, abbreviations, or various spellings within narrative (i.e., synonyms).
R&K created a way to provide users with an option to perform a search that encompasses all possible results without having to enter each possibility as criteria. For instance, users simply enter one name (e.g., Bill) and the system can search for the corresponding synonyms (e.g., Bill/William/Will/Billie/Willy).
Most recently, R&K added a large database of synonym names to make it even more convenient for users!
