# Example Proper Name Searches

The following table describes how the `ProperNames` setting affects the terms that HPE IDOL Server stores for the sentence Tom Jones And His greatest hits.

Original | Tom |  | Jones |  | And His | greatest |  | hits
`0` | `TOM` |  | `JONE` |  |  | `GREAT` |  | `HIT`
`1` | `TOM` | `TOMJON` | `JONE` |  |  | `GREAT` |  | `HIT`
`2` | `TOM` | `TOMJON` | `JONE` |  |  | `GREAT` | `GREATESTHIT` | `HIT`
`3` | `TOM` | `TOMJON` | `JONE` |  | `ANDHI` | `GREAT` |  | `HIT`
`4` | `TOM` | `TOMJON` | `JONE` | `JONESAND` | `ANDHI` | `GREAT` |  | `HIT`
`5` | `TOM` | `TOMJONES` | `JONE` |  | `ANDHIS` | `GREAT` |  | `HIT`
`6` | `TOM` | `TOMJONES` | `JONE` | `JONESAND` | `ANDHIS` | `GREAT` |  | `HIT`
`7` | `TOM` |  | `JONE` | `JONESAND` | `ANDHIS` | `GREAT` |  | `HIT`

If HPE IDOL Server contains these documents, the following queries produce different results according to your `ProperNames` settings.

Doc 1: |  | Doc 2:
Tom Waits and The The in concert with Norah Jones |  | Tom Jones and the the in concert with Katie Melua

-     action=Query&Text=Tom Jones

  If you set `ProperNames` to `0` or `7`, both documents return with the same relevance (in both cases, the query to HPE IDOL Server has the terms TOM and JONE, which match both documents).

  If you set `ProperNames` to `1`, `2`, `3`, `4`, `5`, or `6`, Doc 2 returns with a higher relevance than Doc 1 (because it matches not just the terms TOM and JONE, but also TOMJON or TOMJONES).

-     action=Query&Text=tom jones

  If you set `ProperNames` to `0`, `1`, `3`, `4`, `5`, `6`, or `7`, both documents return with the same relevance (in both cases, the query to HPE IDOL Server has the terms TOM and JONE, which match both documents).

  If you set `ProperNames` to `2`, Doc 2 returns with a higher relevance than Doc 1 (because it matches not just the terms TOM and JONE, but also TOMJON).

-     action=Query&Text=The The

  If you set `ProperNames` to `0`, `1`, or `2`, the query returns no results (because HPE IDOL Server discards both instances of the word The as stop words).

  If you set `ProperNames` to `3`, `4`, `5`, `6`, or `7`, only Doc 1 returns (because in all these cases the query to HPE IDOL Server has the term THETH or THETHE, which matches only Doc 1).

-     action=Query&Text=the the

  If you set `ProperNames` to `0`, `1`, `2`, `3`, `4`, `5`, `6`, or `7`, no results return (because HPE IDOL Server discards both instances of the word the as stop words).
