[Akilandeswari Ramakrishnan <aramakr@xxxxxxxx>]

if we pass for each of the field , then we ll have to deal with multiple
match% per record.. which ll be cumbersome

if we pass the entire object for the JW algo, will it be possible to treat
the whole record as a string and compare ?

if not possible , then we ll just send the Firstname only. wat u guys say?
