This parameter determines how many results to return in cases where multiple matches begin at the same offset in the input text. By default, only one result can be returned, but you can use the AllowMultipleResults parameter if you want to return other matches (either from the same entity or from other entities).
Set AllowMultipleResults to one of the following options:
All or True. This option returns all results at a specified offset.No or False. Only one result at a specified offset is returned. OnePerEntity. Up to one result at a specified offset per entity can be returned.If you are writing the results of Eduction to document fields in IDX format, and you have allowed multiple results for a single entity by setting this parameter to All or True, you should include the relevant fields in the parameter AllowDuplicates.
With the following entities, Georgia might return Georgia (name), Georgia (US state) or Georgia (country). By default, Eduction returns only one match. This is appropriate if it is not important to you that Georgia has multiple interpretations. Set the AllowMultipleResults configuration parameter to All to return all three matches. Set the AllowMultipleResults configuration parameter to OnePerEntity to return one match from each entity. This is appropriate if it is important to you that Georgia is a place and a name, but not that it refers to multiple places.
