What does the --closure-search option of TopHat do?

I'd also really like to know what this does. I have some sequence data from PE reads with a range of fragment sizes. If some of the reads meet the criteria for the expected inner distance between mates to be <= 50 bp, but some do not, does anyone have an idea how this would affect mapping? -
From tophat manual:
I believe it has to work with the following, but haven't test yet.Code:--closure-search Enables the mate pair closure-based search for junctions. Closure-based search should only be used when the expected inner distance between mates is small (<= 50bp)
Code:--min-closure-exon During closure search for paired end reads, exonic hops in the potential splice graph must be at least this long. The default is 50. --min-closure-intron The minimum intron length that may be found during closure search. The default is 50. --max-closure-intron The maximum intron length that may be found during closure search. The default is 5000.

Perhaps I should be more specific.

Did one of you guys find out what this does? I am also curious.Comment

The immune system’s power comes from its genetic diversity, allowing myriad threats to be neutralized through first recognizing foreign antigens. That diversity is also what makes the immune system so difficult to study. Recent advances in sequencing technology and computational biology, however, are giving researchers new tools to understand immune responses and immune-related diseases in greater detail.
