Query Rules of Thumb

Thunderstone Search Appliance Manual

If you get too many junk or nonsense results, try:
- Add some more words to your query.
- Decrease the range of the Proximity control.
- Change the Word Forms control to Exact.
- Look at the Match Info and see why they are showing up.
- Use the Exclusion Operator (-) to remove unwanted terms.
- If you are searching for a phrase, hyphenate the words together.
If you don't get any results, or just too few:
- Remove some more words to your query.
- Examine your spelling.
- Increase the scope of the Proximity control.
- It just might not be there?
