V_ORDERED_NEAR

Name

V_ORDERED_NEAR

Synopsis

Returns records where the listed terms or subqueries are within a specified number of words and are in the same order as listed.

Arguments

Maximum distance between the words
List of terms and subqueries

Ranking Scheme

The rank is determined by how close the words are together. The actual distance between the terms is divided by the maximum possible distance (the specified range). So the closer they are together, the higher their rank.

Comments

V_ORDERED_NEAR combines the features of NEAR and PHRASE. It is like a PHRASE in that each term or subquery must occur in the order they are listed. It differs in that they need not be adjacent. They must, however, be within the specified number of words.

Note that while we say, "within n words," what counts as a word is specified by the indexing process. Each call to prIndexWord increments the word count.

Example

V_ORDERED_NEAR( 3 'blue', 'green' );
