# FieldPositionGap

A separation to apply between adjacent fields to avoid interpreting them as one field. This option prevents IDOL Server from interpreting adjacent XML fields of the same name as one field, by inserting the specified number of positions between adjacent XML fields.

This option controls matching in queries. For example, if you set `FieldPositionGap` to `0`, a query for the phrase `"Henry James"` returns documents that contain `Henry James` in one field, and also documents that contain `Henry` and `James` in adjacent fields. If you set `FieldPositionGap` to `10`, IDOL Server inserts 10 positions between individual XML fields, and only documents with a single field that contains both `Henry` and `James` return.
