Advanced dictionary configuration

There are a number of techniques you can use for more advanced content filtering:

  • If a pair of words must appear close to each other in the message, separate them with the NEAR keyword, for example, dear NEAR sir. By default, NEAR allows up to 8 words between the two phrases. To control the number of words allowed (the nearness), specify it inside square brackets after the NEAR keyword, for example, dear NEAR[2] sir.
  • If the phrase consists of a set of words, on which any one can be matched, you can use the OR keyword. However, a better way of dealing with this situation is to create a separate phrase for each word. For example, you can use bow OR bough but, more simply, you can create two phrases, one for bow and one for bough.
