Adds a new component to the match. For example, if your Eduction task returns an email address as a match, you can use addComponent to extract the text after the @ symbol and add it as a DOMAIN component for the match.
You can also use addComponent to add metadata from other sources. For example, if you have extracted a place name, you can add components called “LATITUDE” and “LONGITUDE”, and populate them with data from a different source, regardless of the fact that they were not components of the original text.
