The new Duplicate Check update (2.253) allows users to activate "improved Frequent Words" for existing installations. After activating this, Duplicate Check will handle defined frequent words differently regarding matching and scoring.

By default, Frequent Words have a small inconsistency in matching and scoring. In this example, we have applied "Architects" as a frequent word. 

Value 1 Value 2 Score
Willson Architects Willson 100%
Willson Willson & Son 77%
Willson Architects Willson & Son 64%

As you can see in the third example, logically the score that should be calculated is 77%. 

Activating Improved Frequent Words

After activating the Improved Frequent Words, this inconsistency is solved. 

Value 1 Value 2 Score
Willson Architects Willson 100%
Willson Willson & Son 77%
Willson Architects Willson & Son 77%

Since this has an effect on the scores that are calculated, activating the Improved Frequent Words has to be done manually. 

How to activate Improved Frequent Words

  1. Navigate to DC Setup - DC Settings.
  2. At the bottom of the page, find "critical updates". 
  3. Activate "Improved Frequent Words" by switching the toggle.
    Warning - Activating Improved Frequent Words cannot be undone.
