`source`	Name of the first table
`target`	Name of the second table
`row`	Row from the first table for which similar person is searched
`eq`	Vector of variables which should be equal in t1 and t2
`eq_tol`	Vector of variables which should be approximately equal in t1 and t2 within specified range (tolerance)
`eq_sub`	Vector of variables in which value of t1 should be a substring of t2 (optimized for double last names after marriage)
`ht`	Vector of variables which should be higher in t1
`lt`	Vector of variables which should be lower in t1
`hte`	Vector of variables which should be higher or equal in t1
`lte`	Vector of variables which should be lower or equal in t1
`id`	Column in source and target datasets containing ID of a row
`compare_cols`	Columns to be used for comparison to remove duplicates
`keep_most_similar`	Bool indicating whether entities with the same attributes should be kept or the most similar entity to the original record should be found (and duplicities should be removed)
`verbose`	Specify if you want to display message for every 250th row
