# DefaultQueryOperator

The default query operator to use to separate terms that you specify in the query.

This option allows you to change the weighting used in queries (for example by using a `WNEAR` operator or the `OR` operator), or to use additional restrictions (for example, by using the `AND` operator).

You can use any of the query Boolean or proximity operators as the `DefaultQueryOperator`, except for `NOT`. For the list of operators, see Boolean and Proximity Search.

Type: | String
Default: | `OR` If you have configured one of the AdvancedSearch modes, the default value is `WNEAR6`, except between bracketed expressions, where the default is `OR`.
Required: | No
Configuration Section: | Server
Example: | `DefaultQueryOperator=OR`
