# DiminishSeparators

A list of characters to disallow as word separators.

The Content component uses separators to determine where one word ends and the next one starts. For each language that Content supports, it has a list of appropriate characters that it automatically reads as separators, such as spaces, tabs, line feeds, and carriage returns.

To ensure that Content does not read a specific character as a separator, list it in the `DiminishSeparators` parameter (in unencoded UTF-8).

Type: | String
Default: |
Required: | No
Configuration Section: | LanguageTypes or `MyLanguage`
Example: | `DiminishSeparators=..`
See Also: | AugmentSeparators SoftSeparators

NOTE: If you change this setting after you have indexed content into the Content component, the new setting applies only to new content, and the server logs a warning. To clear the warning and ensure that your change applies to all your content, you must initialize your index and reindex the content.
