dtSearch Notes

A
  • Underscore “_” is not recognized as a space by default
  • Colon (:) and (&) are not used by Rel but still considered a syntax term by dtSearch – to search for these, must modify the alphabet file
  • dtSearch indexes are case insensitive by default
  • Searching for words right next to each other with no operator is an exact phrase search
  • only need quotes when searching for an operator

A
  • Date Recognition - searches for strings that appear to be dates
    • date(january 10 2006)
    • range: date(january 5 2006 to january 20 2006)
  • Email address recognition - can search for email addresses regardless of alphabet settings for “@”, “.”, or other punctuation

To search for numerical patterns such as social security numbers, you can use the “=” wildcard, which matches any single digit

Q

Search - Best Practices for Advanced Operators - Proximity

A
  • use pre /n for directional proximity, w /n for non-directional
  • xfirstword or xlastword w /n to search beginning and end of doc
  • distance between terms is important (1 w/1 2) w/2 3 to catch 1 2 3
  • noise words count as words for proximity
  • punctuality counts as whitespace under default settings
  • line breaks and consecutive space characters are single spaces
  • stop words and connector words count as words when calculating proximity
