# MatchTimeout

The maximum number of seconds to spend searching for matches (to all chosen entities) at a particular offset. When it reaches the timeout, Eduction returns the best match it has found (if any) and continues looking for matches later in the text.

Eduction usually finds matches very quickly, so in most cases setting this timeout is not required.

Type: | Integer
Default: | 60
