Main functions

The description of all the main functions for search query analysis has been described above, so now let’s just list the search functions that this program offers. Let’s start with phrase search: of course, stemming search, quote search, logical operations, syntactical search (search by word beginning, middle or end), mixed quote search (when all the words from the query must occur in the document, though not necessarily in the order they were entered), search with error and typo correction, search using synonym, “almost quote search” (search for the query phrase as a quote with the possibility of other words occurring in-between query words) etc. Some of the listed options have their own peculiar settings. Beside that, there is a feature enabling you to use the dictionary ‘unimportant words’, a ready-made list of which is already inbuilt in the program; as well as the dictionary of important words, that is words with high priority (that one you will obviously have to fill yourself). 

These are all the main functions of phrase search, to put it short.

Now let’s take a look at the peculiarity of this program – similar document search. The developers insist that this isn’t just simple text search, but rather “similar search” — that is exactly how it’s described in all their documentation, though it’s not the name but the essence that matters.

If you look it up online, you’ll quickly find that “similar search” is a new trend in the field of text analysis. This system lets you find texts similar by the meaning of the content. It was a surprise to see that having conducted a real text search the theory really did come into realization. The program really does look for document similar in their meaning and displays them in a list prioritizing them by percentage of similarity.
