To access, go to the SEARCH section and open the Matching Tool menu.
The page displays 3 sections : Preset, Celf and results.
Start by configuring your Presets :
=> For String fields, you can choose how strict the match should be:
- Exact Match required: only identical terms will match
- Should include the searched term: partial matches allowed
- Accept similar terms: allows for close or approximate matches
=> For numeric fields, you can define a tolerance.
⚠️ Important:
For a field to be used in the matching, you must set both a Matching Type and a Weight (priority level).
Example:
| Field | Matching Type | Weight |
| Used main title | Exact Match required | 10 |
| Language of used main title | Exact Match required | 1 |
| Used subtitle or episode title | Accept similar terms | 4 |
