• Natural Language: Automatically weights the words in an “Any Words”
search to disregard words such as AND and OR and focus on the more
relevant, less frequently found words. An example follows:
Enter the terms Find the memo on ski-induced paralysis to weight
“ski-induced” and “paralysis” very high in the search results, helping to
weed out hits for “memo”.
Stemming: Extends a search to cover grammatical variations. Use ~ at the
end of the word to search for stemming variations. An example follows:
Enter the terms fish~ swamp applied~ to find fish, fishing, swamp, as
well as applying, applies, and apply.
Stemming rules are designed to work with the English language. They
are stored in the stemming.dat file in the dtSearch folder. The default
path starts with the directory you indicated during the Ipro eCapture
installation followed by \Shared\dtSearch.
Phonic: Looks for words that sound like the word you entered in the search
request. An example follows:
Enter #Smith to find Smith, Smithe, and Smythe.
For best results, use a # in front of individual words to be searched pho-
nically. If you simply select Phonic searching under Search Features, the
search will apply phonic rules to all words and can return too many inap-
propriate results.
Synonyms: Finds synonyms established by Ipro eCapture’s dtSearch function
or user-defined. Use & at the end of the word to search for its synonyms. An
example follows:
Enter watchful& monitor to search for the word watchful or its syn-
onyms and/or the word monitor (without synonyms).
Related Words: Select this option to support synonym searches. Stan-
dard synonyms and related words are supplied by WordNet (supplied
with dtSearch and built into Ipro eCapture). For example, the related
words for Face would be eyes, nose, mouth, etc.
