Search Algorithms

The fuzzy search compares sentences word by word. To determine the matching rate, the total of the deviations is deducted from 100%. The up to 10 most similar sentences above a freely configurable minimum display limit are shown.

If the similarity search does not find enough results, the word search will be used. The word search finds matching words and shows search hits from a match level of 80%. The search hits are marked with an [W] in front of them.

If the word search is not able to find enough sentences either, the approximate search will kick in. This search is similar to the word search, but search hits are already displayed from a match level of 50%. The search hits are marked with an [A] in front of them.

The fuzzy search compares sentences word by word. To determine the matching rate, the total of the deviations is deducted from 100%.

By contrast, the concordance search finds sentences that contain all entered words. Thus, the matches of the concordance search represent a superset of the input and may have very low matching rates.

Example:

Enter the three keywords "Kofferraum", "Dach" and "Beladehilfe".

• The match "Beladehilfe im Kofferraum." has the value 87 and most closely matches the word sequence searched for. However, the concordance search does not return this match, as it does not contain the word "Dach", which is also searched for.
• The match "Das im Kofferraum abgelegte Dach lässt sich mit der Beladehilfe nicht mehr absenken." has the value 52. The match appears both in the list of similar sentences and as a result of the concordance search.
• The match "Wenn das Dach geöffnet ist, können Sie mit der Beladehilfe das gefaltete Dach im Kofferraum anheben, damit Sie leichter be- und entladen können." is only found by the concordance search. Its similarity to the word sequence searched for is below the configured display limit (see "Settings").
