To enter a boolean search request, click Boolean under Search type and enter words or phrases linked by connectors. You can use variable term weighting in a search request to weigh some words more heavily than others in ranking search results. Search Features Stemming searches other grammatical forms of the words in your search request. For example, with stemming enabled a search for applies would also find apply, applying or applied . Phonic search finds words that sound similar to words in your request, like Smith and Smythe .
Fuzzy search sifts through scanning and typographical errors.
Fuzziness adjusts from 1 to 10 depending on the degree of misspellings. Synonym searching tells dtSearch to use a thesaurus to automatically expand a search to include synonyms or related concepts, including three optional levels. To see how stemming, phonic searching, fuzzy searching or wildcards will affect your search, click the Browse Words button. To browse the thesaurus used for synonym searching, click the Browse Thesaurus button. Click the Fields button for a list of searchable fields, if you want to limit your search to a particular field.
