# Configure Combine Method for Query

When querying, Find can combine results in different ways, for example to ensure that each document returns a single result even when the index contains multiple sections for the same document. The default method for combining results is `simple`. This can be changed to " " (empty string), to disable combining, or another Combine value. For more information about combining results, refer to the Content Component Help.

To change the combine method

1. Go to the Find home directory.
2. Open `config.json` in a text editor.
3. Find or add the `combineMethod` property.

4. Change the value of `combineMethod` to an appropriate value. For example:

   `"combineMethod": "Simple+FieldCheck"`

5. Save the file, and then restart Find to apply your configuration changes.
