Using the style.fxs File


During indexing, a special feature extraction process evaluates documents and stores special feature vectors for all documents. The feature vectors are used to generate summaries and clusters for display in the application. The style.fxs file can be used to exclude words from appearing in document summaries and clusters.

For information about configuring an application to display clusters and/or summaries, refer to the documentation for your Verity application.

Words you might want to exclude are proper names, like the names of newspapers. In the style.fxs file, you list each word to exclude-one word per line. The stop word file is case-insensitive and accepts only literal words, not regular expressions.

It is possible for sentences containing some terms in the style.fxs to score high enough to be included in best sentence type summaries. The Verity engine uses the feature vectors to determine which sentences are the best for presentation in the summaries. The engine does not filter the document text to remove style.fxs terms when presenting summaries for display.
