(setf *gen-filtering-p* t)

(setf *intersective-rule-names* nil)

OR

(setf *gen-filtering-p* nil)

(setf *intersective-rule-names* 
  '((adjh_i . (1)) (nadj_rr_nt . (2))))

Look in erg/lkb/globals.lisp (or .lsp?)


For German, I cannot use index filtering together with efficient feature
restriction. But Portuguese is probably much more configurational, so
filtering will probably work quite well.
