CATEGORY

Classifies a document according to a taxonomy of topics (e.g. business, sports, etc.) that belong to the source. Category searching can be used to increase the relevance of search results and only return documents that fall into the specified category.

See a full list of categories here.

Category:"Sports"

Any document from a source whose topic is classified as “Sports”.

CONCEPT

Classifies documents into “concepts” based off key phrases and themes in Wikipedia.

Meltwater has analyzed Wikipedia pages using a proprietary algorithm that finds unique keywords, phrases, and themes. These are then attributed to the Wiki page’s topic and the topic becomes a “concept”.

Any document in Meltwater that contains those unique keywords, phrases, and themes will be categorized as that concept.

Use this to help refine searches by concept (topic) instead of by keyword. This is helpful when your keywords aren’t unique to a specific topic, but you want to return results from a specific topic without limiting your scope with exact qualifying keywords.

concept:Sailing

The “Sailing” article in Wikipedia is about the physical act of sailing (e.g. wind velocity, tacking, sail structure, etc.). This example would return documents that also mention those key themes as it relates to sailboats.
​
It would not return returns about yachting races or events unless sailing themes were a key part of the article. For that, we would want to use the concept “Yachting” and documents returned would reflect the key themes in the “Yachting” Wikipedia page.

PREFERENCE

Boost or reduce the score of a word, phrase or sub-expression and decide what is more likely to appear in the hit sentence. The default score is 1, so greater numbers can be used to boost the score, while decimal numbers between 0 and 1 can be used to reduce the score.

You must use the ^ in conjunction with numbers (ideally, multiples of 10). Depending on the number given to a keyword, the precedence will be given there. So the higher the number, the more the search is catered to that particular keyword.

Race AND (yacht ^2 or sailing ^0.5 )

Any document that contains the word “race” and either “yacht” or “sailing”. This does not affect the number of results, but affects what keywords are highlighted in the hit sentence of the results.

An example of when to use: for email reports when you want a specific keyword from your Boolean to show in the hit sentence.

QUESTION MARK

Use this when you are

looking for one or more different keywords in a document.

"sen ?"

Any document that contains keywords such as “sent” or “send”.

BACKSLASH

Use this to ignore the Boolean function of asterisks and quotes. The backslash must be placed before the asterisk or quotation.

E\*trade

"There was more name-calling than at a \"real housewives\" reunion"

First search returns all results for "E*trade" instead of "EndWildlifeTrade" or "EUTrade".

Second search returns results with specific keywords. Without the backslash, the query would read, "there was more name-calling than at a" OR "real housewives" OR "reunion".

XNOT

Use this when you want to ignore a keyword in special combination with other words or phrases.

bill XNOT "bill gates"

Any document where “bill” is present unless it only contains “bill gates”.
E.g. a document with content “Bill Murray met Bill Gates” is returned but not one with “Bill Gates makes billions”.

AUSTRALIAN "NOT AVAILABLE" CONTENT

Use this in conjunction with the NOT operator when you want to exclude Australian that is not available.

NOT SourceName:“Licensed by Copyright Agency”
​

Does not return documents from Australian content that is not available.

TOPIC

Classifies a document according to a taxonomy of topics (e.g. business, sports, etc.) that match the content of the document. Topic searching can be used to increase the relevance of search results and only return documents that fall into the specified topic.

topic: "computer_and_video_games" or topic: "air_travel"

Matches documents that have content related to computer and video games or content related to air travel

CURRENCY
