Normalization Exceptions

When the query includes a word that is subject to a normalization exception, it is not usually normalized. If the normalization exceptions module is present, the query is performed on both the normalized and the non-normalized form.

For example in French, "maïs" (corn) is subject to a normalization exception because it conflicts with "mais" (but).

  • Without this semantic processor, a search for mais only searches for mais, and does not find maïs.

  • With this semantic processor, a search for mais searches for (mais OR maïs).
