How to use search separators

SYMPTOMS

Use Separators to limit a search to a physically defined range of a document within HAPI indexes.

Separators are very useful when combined with the TO operator.

You can use these separators:

EOP end of paragraph
EOG end of page
EOS end of sentence
EOL end of line
EOG end of page

CAUSE

not applicable

RESOLUTION

Example query: experience TO EOP {(driver or chauffeur) and >= 3}

Result: Locates for instances resumes of persons with a minimum of three years' experience as a driver.

Example query: EOP TO EOP {economic and policy}

Result: Locates a single paragraph that includes both economic and policy.

Note: If you want to search for any of the separators as text strings, enclose them in quotes, for example, "EOG". If you do not do this, the search results will contain every file that has the End Of Page marker. EOG, retrieves all files with an End Of Page marker, which is, of course, every file.
