Setting Options for the Search Items
Options for future codings with the MAXDictio Coder can be set for each search item. Search items are strings of characters whose occurrences are supposed to be investigated in the text. These can be individual words, parts of words (such as the stem of a word), or terms consisting of several words or strings of characters.
The default setting is “Word Stem,” which means that all words in the text that contain the search item as a subset will be coded.
The following options are available:
q Only exact matches – only exact search item matches will be counted
q Case sensitivity – case will be taken into consideration
q Starting setters – the search item must appear at the beginning of a word
Examples:
|
“Only exact matches” |
“president“ will code President, but not presidential |
|
“Only exact matches” and “Case sensitivity” |
“president“ will not code President |
|
“Starting letters” activated |
“tree“ will code trees and treehouse |
|
“Starting letters” deactivated |
“tree“ not only codes Tree, but also street |
