Inconsistent results from extractOne and extractTop

[eswarn24]

I could see different results are returned when using methods extractOne and extractTop on the same query string and collections.

I have a pretty long list of collection (15k Strings) to search for each query.

For Instance, let's say I have the following scenario Query - ABC 1721 The collection has following strings in it ABC1721 ABC1721-FGH/L9 ABC MERAKI Z1 EFGD3111/Z1-ABC and many more

extractOne("ABC 1721", collection) gives - ABC1721, Ratio - 95

extractTop("ABC 1721", collection,1) gives - ABC1721, Ratio - 95

but the problem arose when I want the top 5 results extractTop("ABC 1721", collection,5) Match 1 - ABC1721-FGH/L9, Ratio - 86 Match 2 - ABC MERAKI Z1, Ratio - 86 Match 3 - EFGD3111/Z1-ABC, Ratio - 86 and so on

I tried using 'extractSorted' as well, it doesn't give consistent results as extractOne.

I used extractTop (for top 5) and extractOne for 1000+ queries. Around 70% of the 1st Match from extractTop doesn't match with the result of extractOne

BTW, I would like to appreciate your efforts on porting the python logic to Java without any performance lag
