My search has given fewer hits than I expected, what can I do about this?

Solution

The number of hit fragments found that are structurally identical to the query fragment may, on occasion, not be sufficient. In such cases, Mogul can look for fragments that, while not identical to the query, are sufficiently closely related as to be relevant.

These fragments may then be incorporated into a generalised distribution, which therefore consists of observations from fragments that are similar to the query fragment as well as fragments that are identical to the query (if these exist).

For further information on performing generalised searches, please refer to the Mogul User Guide.​
