# SeedBindLevel

A numeric value that specifies how similar to each other the concepts in the documents that form a seed must be (a seed is the unit around which IDOL Server forms a cluster). A higher value gives more tightly bound seeds (that is, the documents in the seed are more conceptually similar to each other).

Set `SeedBindLevel` to `-1` to use an internal default for the bind level.
