1 Phrase search

Search provides the ability to search by phrase. All results are sorted by default according to the following criteria:

-full phrase match

concepts contain all the words from the search phrase
result based on two parameters, the number of searched words in the result and importance of each word (importance is calculated for each word, the words that are rearer among all documents are more important)

Example:

Search phrase: Stroke Myocardial Infarction Gastrointestinal Bleeding

Name	sort priority explanation
Stroke Myocardial Infarction Gastrointestinal Bleeding	full match
Gastrointestinal Bleeding Myocardial Infarction Stroke	all words
Stroke Myocardial Infarction Gastrointestinal Bleeding and Renal Dysfunction	3 words
Stroke Myocardial Infarction Bleeding in Back	2 words
Bleeding in Back Gastrointestinal Bleeding	2 word
Stroke Myocardial Infarction	2 word
Stroke Myocardial Infarction Strok	2 words
Stroke Myocardial Infarction Stroke Nothin	2 words
Stroke Myocardial Infarction Renal Dysfunction	2 words
Stroke Myocardial Infarction Renal Dysfunction and Nothing	1 words
stroke	1 words
Stroke	1 words
Strook	1 words

NB: the search goes through all concept fields, but the highest priority is given to CONCEPT_NAME and CONCEPT_CODE

2 Exact search

Using quotation marks forces an exact-match search.

For an exact search, the following conditions are met

the word must be present
not case sensitive, the number of spaces between words does not matter
stemming is disabled(the word/words must be present exactly as it is in quotation marks)

Example 1:

Search phrase: "Stroke Myocardial Infarction Gastrointestinal Bleeding"

Name
Stroke Myocardial Infarction Gastrointestinal Bleeding
Stroke Myocardial Infarction Gastrointestinal Bleeding and Renal Dysfunction

Example 2:

Search phrase: "Stroke Myocardial Infarction "Gastrointestinal Bleeding"

Name
Stroke Myocardial Infarction Gastrointestinal Bleeding
Gastrointestinal Bleeding Myocardial Infarction Stroke
Stroke Myocardial Infarction Gastrointestinal Bleeding and Renal Dysfunction
Bleeding in Back Gastrointestinal Bleeding

3 Special symbols

For special symbols, the following conditions are met

These special symbols are always ignored and treated as words separation symbols: / \ | ? ! , ; . e.g. "Pooh.eats?honey!" equals "Pooh eats honey"
All other special symbols ignored only if it is a separate word: + - ( ) : ^ [ ] { } ~ * ? | & ; e.g. "Pooh ` eats raspberries - honey" equals "Pooh eats honey", but "Pooh'eats raspberries-honey" will remain the same
the first funded result will be with characters and then without

Search phrase: [hip]

Name
[hip] fracture risk
[Hip] fracture risk
[hip fracture risk
hip] fracture risk
(hip fracture risk
(hip) fracture risk
hip fracture risk
hip) fracture risk
hip} fracture risk
hip} fracture risk
{hip fracture risk

A special character becomes mandatory if the word is surrounded by quotation marks.

Search phrase: "[hip]"

Name
[hip] fracture risk
[Hip] fracture risk

4 Approximate matching (fuzzy searching)

In case of a typo, or if there is a similar spelling of the word, the most similar result will be found

Search phrase: Strok Myocardi8 Infarctiin Gastrointestinal Bleedi

Name
Gastrointestinal Bleeding Myocardial Infarction Stroke
Stroke Myocardial Infarction Gastrointestinal Bleeding
Stroke Myocardial Infarction Gastrointestinal Bleeding and Renal Dysfunction
Stroke Myocardial Infarction Strok
Bleeding in Back Gastrointestinal Bleeding
Stroke Myocardial Infarction Bleeding in Back
Stroke Myocardial Infarction
Stroke Myocardial Infarction Stroke Nothin
Stroke Myocardial Infarction Renal Dysfunction
Stroke Myocardial Infarction Renal Dysfunction and Nothing
stroke
Stroke
Stroo

1 Customize query

Activate customizing search query mode

You can activate this mode by adding debug=true params in url https://qaathena.odysseusinc.com/search-terms/terms?debug=true

the text input field for the boost object will appear below the search input
the score column will be appeared
the generated solr requests and score calculation information will be printed to the browser console (to see it, open developer tools by F12). if the solr-request/score has not changed then this info will not be printed

Boosts object

We use an object with boosts in order to configure the solr search query:
