How does Keyword Expansion function within Relativity?

Keyword Expansion in Relativity operates by examining a specific word or passage and retrieving associated terms. This function is designed to enhance search effectiveness by identifying related words or phrases that can provide broader context or additional relevant results.

When users perform a search, often the initial terms might not capture all pertinent documents that could be relevant to a case. Keyword Expansion helps in overcoming this limitation by automatically generating synonyms or related concepts, allowing for a more comprehensive retrieval of information regardless of variations in terminology. This improves the accuracy of search results by ensuring that documents which might use different terms for the same concept are still included, thus facilitating a more thorough review process.

In contrast, focusing only on exact word matches would limit the search scope significantly, and simply increasing the number of documents without considering relevance would not enhance the quality of the results. Sorting documents into categories does not directly relate to the function of keyword generation, but rather pertains to organizing or classifying documents once they have been retrieved.
