Results List

Use

The results list contains all entries in the terminology database that match your search criteria. The title bar displays the number of results.

The SAPterm results list sorts terms using weightings.

Terms with definitions are listed first, followed by terms without definitions, then by term variants such as synonyms.
If fuzzy search is active the terms most identical to the search string are listed first. Further matches are based on similarity, such as the number of identical characters.
