Remarks
Throughout this class Description refers to the name of a field or a value whereas "terms" tell what people can type to match the field or terms in it. When generating terms it is a good idea to include anything that might be reasonable for someone to type. The form dialog itself will help clarify any ambiguity. One way to do this is to use MaxPhrase which ensures that GenerateTerms(String, Int32) is called on your base terms.
