Search Prefixes entered in front of a diagnosis tooth diagnoses line may modify the behaviour of searching a specific tooth:

For each tooth, you may modify the default search operator specified for the whole search with one of the operators:

=  require an identical code

~  accept same weight

> or <  accept evolved weight (both symbols have the same effect)

Additional restrictions can be applied:

&  ONLY include file in result list if this tooth is fully matching

!  REMOVE file from match list if this tooth is fully matching

In example:

If you have created a search template from an existing file and only want to see results where tooth 38 has a 'mcc' no matter which other matches are found, you change the search expression in line 38 from 'mcc' to '&=mcc'

Using the restrictions may cause severe confusion as they only work as you may expect if the match candidate has exactly ONE diagnosis applied. In the above example, matches will be discarded if tooth 38 has the commonly used 'mcc rfx'.

In later versions, we may extend this feature to allow you to specify the prefixes on a diagnosis basis instead of a line basis, or completely remove it again if it leads to too much confusion or complaints.
