If HPE IDOL Server contains these documents, the following queries produce different results according to your ProperNames
settings.
Doc 1: | Doc 2: | |
Tom Waits and The The in concert with Norah Jones | Tom Jones and the the in concert with Katie Melua |
action=Query&Text=Tom Jones
If you set ProperNames
to 0
or 7
, both documents return with the same relevance (in both cases, the query to HPE IDOL Server has the terms TOM and JONE, which match both documents).
If you set ProperNames
to 1
, 2
, 3
, 4
, 5
, or 6
, Doc 2 returns with a higher relevance than Doc 1 (because it matches not just the terms TOM and JONE, but also TOMJON or TOMJONES).
action=Query&Text=tom jones
If you set ProperNames

, 1
, 3
, 4
, 5
, 6
, or 7
, both documents return with the same relevance (in both cases, the query to HPE IDOL Server has the terms TOM and JONE, which match both documents).
If you set ProperNames
to 2
, Doc 2 returns with a higher relevance than Doc 1 (because it matches not just the terms TOM and JONE, but also TOMJON).
action=Query&Text=The The
If you set ProperNames
to 0
, 1
, or 2
, the query returns no results (because HPE IDOL Server discards both instances of the word The as stop words).
If you set ProperNames
to 3
, 4
, 5
, 6
, or 7
, only Doc 1 returns (because in all these cases the query to HPE IDOL Server has the term THETH or THETHE, which matches only Doc 1).
action=Query&Text=the the
If you set ProperNames

, 1
, 2
, 3
