What are Group Duplicates options?

When viewing news results, sometimes several versions of the same news article appear in the results list. You can group same or similar news stories into groups to help manage your list of results.

Using the Group Duplicates option, you can choose whether you want to use similarity analysis to process your search results. Similarity analysis analyzes a results list, identifies news stories that have similar content, and groups the similar news articles together.

Choose the type of similarity analysis you want from the Group Duplicates drop-down list:

Off
No similarity analysis. If similarity analysis has already been performed, the results list is regenerated without similarity analysis.
High similarity
News articles must be nearly identical in order for the service to include them in the same group of similar articles.
Moderate similarity
News articles with relatively less similarity can be included in the same group of similar articles.
Note:
  • Similarity analysis may find that a results list contains one or more groups of similar news stories (no story will be included in more than one group). Likewise, if no articles in the list are similar enough that they can be grouped together, the results list may contain no groups.
  • Your selection will be used for future searches until you change it to something else.
