Controlling Proximity

Thunderstone Search Appliance Manual

Controlling Proximity

Mastering the usage of proximity gives the ability to locate results with greater precision. The Search Appliance input form gives you several options to control the search proximity:

: line - All query terms must occur on the same line
: sentence - Query items should all reside within the same sentence
: paragraph - Within the same paragraph or text block
: page - All items must occur within same HTML document (the default)

Note that the Proximity options may not be present (i.e. default to page) if it is disabled by the search administrator.
