A default Metamorph search will calculate the maximum number of
intersections possible in a hit based on your query.
Metamorph picks out the important elements of your question and
creates a series of sets of words and/or patterns; counting the number
of sets, it does a search for any hit which contains all those
elements. If you ask: "Was there a power struggle?" the
program will look for hits containing 1 intersection of the 2 sets
"power" and "struggle". In this case the program is
executing the search at intersection quantity 1, as it is looking for
text containing 1 union of 2 sets.
When you first enter the query, Metamorph determines how many sets of
concepts it will be searching for. Upon execution, the program will
attempt to find hits containing the maximum number of intersections of
something from each of those sets, within the defined delimiters of a
sentence.
A "sentence" is specified as the block of text from one sentence
type delimiter [.?!] to the next sentence type delimiter
[.?!]. Any sentence found which contains that maximum number
of intersections will be considered a valid hit, and can be made
available for viewing, in the context of the full text of the file in
which it is located.
