# AugmentSeparators

A list of additional separator characters.

IDOL Server uses separators to determine where one word ends and the next one starts. For each language that IDOL Server supports, it has a list of appropriate characters that it automatically reads as separators, such as spaces, tabs, line feeds, and carriage returns.

To ensure that IDOL Server reads a specific character as a separator, list it in the `AugmentSeparators` parameter (in unencoded UTF-8).

Note: Certain characters that have a special meaning in IDOL Server queries override any separators that you set. For example, you can use a colon (`:`) in a query to differentiate between a term and its field (for example, `dog:ANIMAL`). Even if you add `:` as a separator (by specifying it in `AugmentSeparators`), it acts as a field delimiter in querying. However, in indexing, `:` does not have a special meaning, and therefore acts as a separator.

Type: | String
Default: |
Required: | No
Configuration Section: | LanguageTypes or `MyLanguage`
Example: | `AugmentSeparators=!;.`

Note: If you change this setting after you have indexed content into IDOL Server, you must reindex the content.
