Properties

AccentSensitive

Defaults to false. Boolean value denoting whether comparisons with the entity name should be sensitive to accent.

CaseSensitive

Defaults to false. Boolean value denoting whether comparisons with the entity name should be sensitive to character casing. Sample case insensitive matches of "Microsoft" could be: microsoft, microSoft, MICROSOFT.

Description

This field can be used as a passthrough for custom metadata about the matched text(s). The value of this field will appear with every match of its entity in the skill output.

FuzzyEditDistance

Defaults to 0. Maximum value of 5. Denotes the acceptable number of divergent characters that would still constitute a match with the entity name. The smallest possible fuzziness for any given match is returned. For instance, if the edit distance is set to 3, "Windows10" would still match "Windows", "Windows10" and "Windows 7". When case sensitivity is set to false, case differences do NOT count towards fuzziness tolerance, but otherwise do.
