Modifiers

Some characters are recognized as search modifiers when found immediately after the closing double quote of a phrase, as in "some term"modifierchars. The actual "phrase" can be a single term of course. Supported modifiers:

  • l can be used to turn off stemming (mostly makes sense with p because stemming is off by default for phrases).

  • s can be used to turn off synonym expansion, if a synonyms file is in place (only for Recoll 1.22 and later).

  • o can be used to specify a "slack" for phrase and proximity searches: the number of additional terms that may be found between the specified ones. If o is followed by an integer number, this is the slack, else the default is 10.

  • p can be used to turn the default phrase search into a proximity one (unordered). Example: "order any in"p

  • C will turn on case sensitivity (if the index supports it).

  • D will turn on diacritics sensitivity (if the index supports it).

  • A weight can be specified for a query element by specifying a decimal value at the start of the modifiers. Example: "Important"2.5.
