Comment(by woodbri):

 Also, I have found at least one very pathological case where the name is
 "MAINSTREET" and if it is entered as "MAIN STREET" then it is impossible
 to match, because "STREET" is classified as SUFFIX_TYPE token and "MAIN"
 is too short to match the fuzy key of "MAINSTREET".

 There are ways to find this, but they tend to make everything else slower
 and return too many unwanted results. -- Good Times!
