The previous search only tried a single query which often returned newer
companies with similar names. Now generates all combinations of name
variations (UK/U.K. + Ltd/Limited) to find the correct company.
For "Mattel UK Ltd", now searches:
- Mattel UK Ltd
- Mattel U.K. Ltd
- Mattel UK Limited
- Mattel U.K. Limited (finds MATTEL U.K. LIMITED from 1980)
- Plus core name variations
This ensures companies like "MATTEL U.K. LIMITED" (incorporated 1980)
are found instead of incorrectly matching "UK MATTEL LTD" (2025).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
When searching Companies House, now generates multiple query variations
to find companies registered with different naming conventions (e.g.,
"U.K." vs "UK", "Limited" vs "Ltd"). This helps match older companies
like "MATTEL U.K. LIMITED" when CVs list "Mattel UK Ltd".
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
When no company in search results existed at the claimed employment
start date, return no match instead of falling back to wrong company.
This prevents matching "UK MATTEL LTD" (2025) when the CV claims
employment in 2006-2013 and the real "MATTEL U.K. LIMITED" (1980)
isn't in the search results.
Result: Company shows as "Unverified" instead of wrongly verified
with multiple "Employment Before Company Existed" flags.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Cache lookup now validates company existed at claimed start date
- If cached company was incorporated after employment date, search for alternatives
