Jun 17, 2015 at 1:07 comment added Sonicthoughts @JoeMurray - yes, but I think that would still require the subject matter expert to use the UI interactively - no? Was hoping to present "likely" matches in a separate list. I suppose this is an edge case anyway but thought someone may have tackled it before.

Jun 10, 2015 at 3:12 comment added Sonicthoughts It's filled with issues (spellings, etc.) I thought it might be good to generate a list of suggestions similar to the auto-complete widget so someone could quickly identify likely matches without having to use import forms/process. so, "Andy Hunt" would return "Andrew Hunt", "Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Hunt", etc. and the contact ID.

Jun 9, 2015 at 14:17 comment added Sonicthoughts Also, my first attempt is using drush and api: $result = civicrm_api3('Contact', 'get', array( 'sequential' => 1, 'return' => "id,first_name,last_name,display_name", 'display_name' => "john smith",) I'm not clear on the matching logic though as it seems to be fuzzy.
