Proximity

Thunderstone Search Appliance Manual

Proximity

Syntax: choose a radio button

Proximity gives the ability to locate results with greater precision. The Search Appliance input form gives you several options to control the search proximity:

: line - All query terms must occur on the same line
: sentence - Query items must all reside within the same sentence
: paragraph - Within the same paragraph or text block
: page - All items must occur within same HTML document (the default)

Note that any value other than page requires post-processing - which can take some time - and thus Allow Post-Processing (here) would need to be enabled. Thus if Allow Post-Processing is not enabled, the Proximity widget may not be shown in the search interface.
