### Using Synonyms
227
+
228
+
The matchers scan data coming from your Sources for PII based on both
229
+
exact-matching (and fuzzy-matching if you select 'Similar to' option).
230
+
As an example, if you have a custom matcher for detecting "credit card
231
+
number", it will also detect variations like "credit-card number", or
232
+
typos such as "creditt card number".
233
+
234
+
Our fuzzy matching uses [this public GitHub repository](https://github.com/imjasonmiller/godice)
235
+
to determine if it is a match. However, it will not detect all variations
236
+
and for those scenarios, you can use synonyms. You can add "credit card no",
237
+
"debit card number", or similar variations in the synonyms section.

Custom Matchers use [regular expressions](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_expression) (using the [Golang Regex Package](https://golang.org/pkg/regexp/)) to provide you great flexibility for your matching patterns.
