Emakin system 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 for. The higher the boost factor, the more relevant the term will be.

  1. Boosting allows you to control the relevance of a document by boosting its term. For example, if you are searching for:

          expense form

and you want the term "expense" to be more relevant boost it using the ^ symbol along with the boost factor next to the term. You would type:

...

By default, the boost factor is 1. Although the boost factor must be positive, it can be less than 1.

Boolean Operators

Boolean operators allow terms to be combined through logic operators. Emakinsystem Emakin system supports AND, "+", OR, NOT and "-" as Boolean operators(Note: Boolean operators must be ALL CAPS).

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 exist in a document. This is equivalent to a union using sets. The symbol || can be used in place of the word OR.

...

The AND operator matches documents where both terms exist anywhere in the text of a single document. This is equivalent to an intersection using sets. The symbol && can be used in the place of the word AND.

To search for documents that contain "Expense form" and "Invoice form" use the query:

...

To search for documents that must contain "expense" and may contain the "form", use the following query:

      +expense form
