Not so much of a question, more wondering if Blackbaud could look at adding additional features to the Search for a Constituent action. Mainly, for the end user to set the threshold for the degree of fuzzy matches that are returned.

I'm not sure if anyone else is experiencing this, but when using the Search action, especially for the name, it's returning an extremely high number of possible matches. For example, I used the action to search for “Richard UncommonLastName” and it returned nearly 150 results. I ran the results through a couple string distance algorithms (Jaro-Winkler and Damerau–Levenshtein) and got J/W scores as low as .4 and D/L scores as high as 18 transformations on a string input that was 14 characters.
