Introduction

How to improve your configuration to expand possibilities in collecting and classifying terms 

In the search configuration process, operators allow specific actions to be applied to their monitoring terms. You can choose not to collect certain terms, specify words that should be collected together, and other features in this area. 

How to access

Access the Configuration area through the side menu or card:

Asterisk operator (*)

The asterisk has the function of “expanding” the parameters of a character, according to its characteristic.

Example: if the descriptor is “menin*”, the asterisk means that all variations of this term, such as: “girl, boy, girls, meninx…” are included.

Note: It is important that the asterisk is not used within a descriptor that contains more than one word.

Example: if we use the descriptor "menin*", as shown in the previous example, it will work without problems. However, if "young men*", "ten menin*" or similar are used, the descriptor will not operate as expected.  

The asterisk can also be used in conjunction with other operators, such as the ampersand (&&), as long as your term is only one word.
