Named Entity Recognition User and Programming Guide

# PrioritizeScore

Set `PrioritizeScore` to `True` to configure Named Entity Recognition to return the highest scoring match that it finds when AllowMultipleResults is set to False or OnePerEntity. In this case, when Named Entity Recognition finds two or more matches that start at the same offset, Named Entity Recognition returns the highest scoring match.

By default, Named Entity Recognition returns the longest or shortest match, depending on your NonGreedyMatch configuration.

When you set this parameter, Named Entity Recognition uses the length as a tie breaker if two entities have equal scores.
