Expanding Search Words
✓ Understanding Expansion Levels
When you expand a search word, you see a
message showing the current expansion level.
There are four expansion levels. Each level
adds related words to your search.
Expansion Level 1 is the unexpanded search
word (e.g., belief) alone. Level 2 adds inflec-
tions (e.g., believe and believed). Level 3 adds
compound and related words (e.g., believer
and unbelief). Level 4 adds synonyms (e.g.,
understand and obeyed).
If an expansion level adds no words, the
expansion automatically moves to the next
level. For that reason, many words are fully
expanded to Level 4 after less than three
expansions.
