Named Entity Recognition Server 25.4
Named Entity Recognition Server Reference

# NonGreedyMatch

A Boolean that specifies whether to return the shortest match. To configure Named Entity Recognition Server to return the shortest match, set `NonGreedyMatch` to `True`. If two matches from two different entities start at the same word, and `NonGreedyMatch` is set to `True`, Named Entity Recognition Server returns only the shortest match.

Setting this parameter to `True` implicitly disables the `AllowOverlaps` and `AllowMultipleResults` parameters. If you have set these parameters, `NonGreedyMatch` takes precedence.

For more information on how to configure the Named Entity Recognition Server matching behavior using `NonGreedyMatch`, refer to Knowledge Discovery Expert.
