Hi all

Has anyone had experience using Elastic search for performing entity matching activities?

Would be interested in understanding a bit more about the solution. My understanding is elastic search can define comparison sets using it's search, but doesn't have capabilities for defining entity matching rules, is this correct?

Cheers  
Stefan
