Boosting a term
Virtualization Manager provides the relevance level of matching documents
based on the terms found. To boost a term, use the caret (^) symbol with a boost
factor (a number) at the end of the term you are searching. The higher the boost
factor, the more relevant the term will be.
You can control the relevance of a document by boosting its term. For example, if
you are searching for Microsoft Windows, and you want the term "Microsoft" to be
more relevant, boost it by using the ^ symbol along with the boost factor next to
the term. For example:
Microsoft^4 Windows
The previous search query makes documents with the term “Microsoft” appear
more relevant. You can also boost phrase terms as in the following example:
"Microsoft Windows"^4 "Server 2003"
By default, the boost factor is 1. Although the boost factor must be positive, it can
be less than 1, such as 0.2.
Using Boolean operators
By using Boolean operators, you can combine terms through logical operators.
You can use the following Boolean operators in Virtualization Manager:
l AND
l +
l OR
l NOT
l -
Note: Boolean operators must be all capitals.
OR
The OR operator is the default conjunction operator. This means that if there is no
Boolean operator between two terms, the OR operator is used. The OR operator
links two terms and finds a matching document if either of the terms exists in the
