Description

EntityLinkingEngines do allow to specify the maximum number of suggestions. This feature will allow to include all results with the same score as the last included.

This is especially useful for disambiguation. While 3 results will be OK for rare labels you would still like to have all 47 Portland known by Wikipedia.

This will add the boolean switch

enhancer.engines.linking.includeSimilarScore

the default will be 'false'

This will be added to the EntityLinkerConfig. The EntityLinkingEngine and the LuceneFstLinkingEngine will support this new feature.
