I need to rank multiple candidate matches for a single input string and pick the closest one.

This feature ranks multiple candidate matches for a single input string and identifies the closest match. It helps you reliably select the best match when several possible options exist.

This feature lets you provide one input string along with multiple candidate strings and produces a ranked list from closest to least close. It also returns the single best (closest) candidate so you can directly choose a winner. The goal is to make selection deterministic when a simple yes/no match is not enough. You can use it to resolve ambiguous lookups where several records may be similar to the input. It supports workflows where you want both an immediate best choice and visibility into near-misses for review. This is useful for tasks like selecting the most likely record, label, or name that corresponds to an entered value. Ranking candidates can reduce manual checking by prioritizing the most plausible options first. It also improves consistency by applying the same ranking approach every time the same input and candidates are evaluated. Common use cases include choosing the correct customer name, product title, location, or identifier from a set of similar alternatives.
