Stemming
Stemming
Stemming is a feature to show you more search results that might be relevant to you. For example, if you search for print, it also finds documents containing prints, printer, printed, printers, or printing.
Of course, you might just want pages containing the exact word Print, in which case just un-check the Stemming checkbox!
Some supermarket websites contain this feature. When you search for apples they often show you pages for apple juice, apple cider, apple cake, apple pies before you get to the page where you can buy a bag of apples 🤦
Technically Stemming improves search recall, meaning it will return more search results that might be relevant to you.
Another way of improving search recall is the use of synonyms.
This demo page was created with the WordPress plug-in, no programming was needed.
It demonstrates the use of filters to narrow the search without having to type a long query such as Title contains (Smith v Cotoco Freezing company) or Date Of Judgment contains (2016/01/21).
Try clicking the filter in the search bar, enter a Date of Judgment of 21 Jan 2016, click Apply.
PDF files were uploaded with custom properties created in Adobe Acrobat called Date of Judgment and Case Title. The files are automatically converted by Search Cloud One to HTML to allow multi-color hit-highlighting.
Try a search for – holden and fashion and ashi – click on the search result to view the document with each word of the search in a different color.
The 20 files in this demo are a small sample donated by Toma Legal Retrieve from their large collection of over 30,000 documents.
