# Match Validity

The order in which a match is assessed for its validity is as follows:

- If the match is not found inside one of the required zones, discard it.
- If the match does not meet the minimum score requirement, discard it.

- If duplicates are allowed:

  - If the instance of the match is allowable, count this instance and return the match.
  - Otherwise, count this instance and discard it.

- If duplicates are not allowed for the entity field:

  - If the matched text has been found before, discard it.
  - Otherwise, if the instance of the match is allowable, count this instance and return the matched text.
  - If the instance of the match is not allowable, count this instance and discard it.
