This feature enables Sanctions List Search to detect certain misspellings or other incorrectly entered text, and will return near, or proximate, matches, based on the confidence rating set by the user via the slider-bar. To aid users of the tool, Sanctions List Search contains a feature entitled 'Minimum Name Score' that functions on a sliding scale, allowing for a user to set a threshold (i.e., a fuzziness rating) for the closeness of any potential match returned as a result of a user's search. The Sanctions List Search tool uses approximate string matching to identify possible matches between word or character strings as entered into Sanctions List Search, and any name or name component as it appears on the SDN List and/or the various other sanctions lists. These program codes indicate how a true hit on a returned value should be treated.

Given the number of lists that now reside in the Sanctions List Search tool, it is strongly recommended that users pay close attention to the program codes associated with each returned record. This Sanctions List Search application ('Sanctions List Search') is designed to facilitate the use of the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons list ('SDN List') and other sanctions lists administered by OFAC, including the Foreign Sanctions Evaders List, the Sectoral Sanctions Identifications List, the List of Foreign Financial Institutions Subject to Correspondent Account or Payable-Through Account Sanctions, the Non-SDN Palestinian Legislative Council List, the Non-SDN Menu-Based Sanctions List, and the Non-SDN Communist Chinese Military Companies List.
