Customizing Frequent Segments Shown

If you want to limit or expand the list of frequent segments that are displayed, you can easily do so by setting the minimum and maximum word counts, as well as the minimum number of occurrences.

How to Customize Which Segments are Shown in the Window Pane

  1. View the frequent segments. See Viewing Frequent Segments.
  2. In the local toolbar of the Frequent Segments window pane, click Search Properties.The Frequent Segment Search Properties dialog opens.
  3. Adjust any of the fields in the dialog.
    • Min Word Count Use this field to set the minimum number of words that must be contained in a segment in order for it to be displayed in the Frequent Segments window pane.
    • Max Word Count Use this field to set the maximum number of words that can be contained in a segment in order for it to be displayed in the Frequent Segments window pane. The highest number you can enter is 30. If you want to convert content containing more than 30 words to snippets, you can use Flare to find multiple instances of partial content. Then you need to open Flare and manually replace the large chunks of content with snippets.
