Description

The auto-analyze service currently looks for conflicts in the NameX PostgreSQL database. This table contains NRs, but no corporations. As a result, the new search will miss any businesses that were formed before NRs/NRO existed (<~2004)

**Impact if auto-approval were enabled:**
- name request would approve names that conflict with existing corporations

**Impact if auto-approval is disabled:**
- name request will indicate no conflicts, then examiners will reject, disappointing the client.

Many older businesses will have had similar names approved as NRs, but others will not. It is difficult to gauge exactly what percentage of all possible names are currently being ignored.

Potential sources of business conflicts include:
- CPRD itself (The legacy Oracle DB)
- Solr (currently synched with CPRD and NRO conflicts for NameX search)
- Entities postgreSQL (Missing certain business types at the time being, but will eventually need to contain all types)
