Configuring Text Search
Add the stop words to
operators such as square brackets ([ ]) to indicate character classes, periods (.) to
indicate any
character, and plus notation (+) to indicate repeats. For example, the
might contain the following lines:
........................................+
at
and
be
[0-9a-zA-Z]
[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]+
In this example, the first line of periods (in the file by default) indicates that words
with 40 or more characters are not to be indexed, as well as the words at, and, and
be. [0-9a-zA-Z] indicates that all one letter words are not to be indexed.
[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]+ indicates that all integers with four or more digits are not to be
indexed.
The words you specify are case sensitive, so you need to enter all the case
variations of a word. For instance, for the you should enter the, THE, and The.
If you want to use stop words, make sure you create the
create a collection. Changing the
requires you to:
Delete the current collection.
1.
Change the stop list for the collection type.
2.
Recreate the collection.
3.
Reindex all the documents in the collection.

Turning Search On or Off
Before users can search your server or web site, you must turn search on. The
default setting is for search to be turned off. Turn the search function on or off
using the Search State interface in the Server Manager.
Turning search off for a server where users do not use search can improve server
performance. You may also want to turn off the search function when you know
the server will have heavy traffic, and back on when traffic is lighter. When search
is turned off, the search plug-in is not loaded when the HTTP server starts up.
