Basic Search Types
Phrase searching finds phrases like: due process of law.
Boolean operators like and/or/not can join words and phrases: due process of law and not (equal protection or civil rights).
Proximity searching finds a word or phrase within "n" words of another word or phrase: apple pie w/38 peach cobbler.
Directed Proximity searching finds a word or phrase "n" words before another word or phrase: apple pie pre/38 peach cobbler.
Phonic searching finds words that sound alike, like Smythe in a search for Smith.
Stemming finds variations on endings, like applies, applied, applying in a search for apply.
Numeric range searching finds any number between two numbers, such as between 6 and 36.
Macro capabilities make it easy to include frequently used items in a search request.
Wildcard support allows ? to hold a single letter place, and * to hold multiple letter places: apple* and not appl?sauce.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fuzzy Searching
Fuzzy searching uses a proprietary algorithm to find search terms even if they are misspelled.
Search fuzziness adjusts from 0 to 10 so you can fine-tune fuzziness to the level of OCR or typographical errors in your files.
A search for alphabet with a fuzziness of 1 would find alphaqet; with a fuzziness of 3, it would find both alphaqet and alpkaqet.
Fuzziness is not built into the index, so you can vary fuzziness at the time of each search.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Concept / Synonym / Thesaurus Searching
Concept searching lets you look for fast and find quick, speedy, etc.
dtSearch offers variable levels of automatic synonym expansion based on a comprehensive semantic network of the English language.
You can also add your own thesaurus terms.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Combining Search Types
Nearly all search types are combinable.
You can make your search request as complex as you want.
