Proximity searches
Another way to define a search is by the proximity (closeness) of
words in the search string. You can use the operators “near”,
“sentence” or “paragraph”. Here are several examples:
32-bit near scanner
finds documents in which the
terms “32-bit” and “scanner”
occur close together. The closer
together they are, the higher the
document is scored.
32-bit near/2 scanner
the terms “32-bit” and “scanner”
must be within two words of each
other. Any number can be used in
this case.
32-bit order near
scanner
the term “32-bit” must precede
the term “scanner”.
32-bit sentence scanner
the terms “32-bit” and “scanner”
must be found in the same
sentence.
32-bit paragraph scanner
the terms “32-bit” and “scanner”
must be found in the same
paragraph.
Natural language searches
Click the Natural Language Searching checkbox on if you
want to enter a search string in plain English. For example:
Which costs more, a scanner or a printer?
The result will depend on the documents you have on your PC. In
this case, the Search Tool uses advanced linguistic operations to
filter out non-essential words, and translates the string into a
valid search query. Found documents are rated by relevance.
