Remarks

Controls how much variation the geocoding service allows when it searches for likely candidates in the reference data. A low value for spelling sensitivity allows "Mane", "Maine", and "Man" to be treated as match candidates for "Main". A higher value restricts candidates to exact matches. If you are sure that your addresses are spelled correctly, you can set a higher spelling sensitivity. However, if you think your addresses may contain spelling errors, then you should use a lower setting. Processing takes longer with a lower setting since scores for more candidates must be computed. A value of "0" is equivalent to the default, which is "80".

In a request, the spelling sensitivity value cannot be lower than any value set in GCSTYLE in a map configuration file. If no value is set, a value of "80" is assumed. If the requested value is lower than the service value, the requested value is set to the service value.
