- provide search over small intranets, such as for a small business office, library or classroom.
As its name suggests Boolean Search supports content queries that use boolean and regular expressions, as well as phrase and proximity searches, fuzzy and partial word searches and similarity search. Optional spell checking on queries provides a "Did you mean?" functionality similar to Google.
