# MatchTimeout

The maximum time to spend searching for matches (to all chosen entities) at a particular offset. You can specify the timeout in seconds and fractional seconds (for example 5.5 means five and a half seconds).

After it reaches the timeout, Named Entity Recognition returns the best match it has found (if any) and continues looking for matches later in the text.

Named Entity Recognition usually finds matches very quickly, so in most cases you do not need to set this timeout.

NOTE: When edktool reports settings, it returns values for the timeout in milliseconds. For example, if you set `MatchTimeout` to 4.5, it returns the timeout value as 4500.

NOTE: You can override the value of this parameter by using the associated Named Entity Recognition SDK functions, or by providing a configuration file fragment when you create the session.
