Preventing stemming

When entering text on a search form, you can prevent Verity from implicitly adding the STEM operator by doing one of the following:

• Perform an explicit query. For more information, see the next section, Using explicit queries.
• Use the WORD operator. For more information, see Operators.

In CFML, you can prevent stemming by enclosing the double-quoted search term with single quotes, as follows:

<cfsearch name="search_name"
   collection="bbb"
   type="simple"
criteria='"instructional"'
