About Word Lists
A word list is a lexicon of terms required for a search, words that are often particular to a job, industry, or field of research. In IPRO Search, you can build a list of terms you can keep updated as you encounter more terms the further you go in a search. As you build queries, you can include or exclude terms in your word list, as well as search for a term in its entirety (a match) or portion of a term (partial match).
You can use a word list in message, attachment, document, and federated searches.
