# AugmentSeparators

A list of additional separator characters.

IDOL Category Component uses separators to determine where one word ends and the next one starts. For each language that IDOL Category Component supports, it has a list of appropriate characters that it automatically reads as separators, such as spaces, tabs, line feeds, and carriage returns.

To ensure that IDOL Category Component reads a specific character as a separator, list it in the `AugmentSeparators` parameter (in unencoded UTF-8).

Note: Certain characters that have a special meaning in IDOL Category Component queries override any separators that you set. For example, you can use a colon (`:`) in a query to differentiate between a term and its field (for example, `dog:ANIMAL`). Even if you add `:` as a separator (by specifying it in `AugmentSeparators`), it acts as a field delimiter in querying. However, in indexing, `:` does not have a special meaning, and therefore acts as a separator.

Type: | String
Default: |
Required: | No
Configuration Section: | LanguageTypes or `MyLanguage`
Example: | `AugmentSeparators=!;.`
See Also: | DiminishSeparators SoftSeparators

Note: If you change this setting after you have indexed content into IDOL Category Component, you must reindex the content.
