# TangibleCharacters

A list of non-alphanumeric characters (in unencoded UTF-8) to make searchable.

Allows you to list one or more characters (except space, return, or tab characters) that you want to be able to search for, in the same way that you can search for letters. HPE IDOL Server does not stem terms that contain the specified tangible characters.

For example, if set `TangibleCharacters` to `!` for the language type `FrenchUTF8`, the action `Query&Text=Help!&LanguageType=frenchutf8` matches a document that contains the term `help!`, but not one that contains only `help`.

Note: If you specify a character for `TangibleCharacters` that is also set as a separator, `TangibleCharacters` takes precedence. However, if you specify a character for `TangibleCharacters` that is also set for HyphenChars, HyphenChars takes precedence (that is, HPE IDOL Server treats the character as HyphenChars, and not `TangibleCharacters`).

Type: | String
Default: |
Required: | No
Configuration Section: | LanguageTypes or `MyLanguage`
Example: | `TangibleCharacters=!?`
See Also: | NumberPunctuation

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