problem_statement: OperationalError: malformed MATCH expression
Using `fuzzy_left_join`, I came across the above error while matching addresses.

It seems to relate to the following string: `'16 Orchard Court, Near Stepaside Park, Stepaside, Dublin, ireland'`

(note: I swapped out the street name for another for privacy reasons, but string length and structure is the same)

Code which I ran:
```python
import fuzzymatcher
import pandas as pd

df_left = contacts_unique_addresses
df_right = register
left_on = ["match_string"]
right_on = ["match_string"]

matched = fuzzymatcher.fuzzy_left_join(df_left, df_right, left_on, right_on)
```
And the error. Is it possible that my string is too long? 
```python
OperationalError                          Traceback (most recent call last)
