# Finding the matches

Identifying matching records

Finds the records which match with each other.

`./zingg.sh --phase match --conf config.json`

As can be seen in the image below, matching records are given the same z\_cluster id. Each record also gets a z\_minScore and z\_maxScore which shows the least/greatest it matched with other records in the same cluster.

![Match results](https://3423074920-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FngqsuC2LVWwrOiyPZbU2%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-fa7133f1ce5a32b044f2094de87fc33183965d38%2Fmatch.gif?alt=media)

If records across multiple sources have to be matched, the [link phase](/0.3.4/stepbystep/link.md) should be used.
