Noise/Stop Words & Search

Post by b3n » Tue Sep 25, 2012 3:31 am

Another one of those 'what could I be doing wrong?' questions here I'm afraid. We're trying to get search working properly and to do that it seems we need to remove the 'noise' words from SQL Server, and then remove them from App_Data/stopwords.txt (as detailed here: http://wiki.ablecommerce.com/index.php/Stop_words_list).

I've removed them all from SQL Server ('noiseeng' & 'noiseenu' just to be sure) and restarted the server, and rebuilt the ac_SearchCatalog Full Text Catalog. I then went to find the stopwords.txt file and it didn't exist, so I created a blank file in it's place (again, just to be sure)... But I still can't do a search for, for example, 'is' or 'a'... What am I missing?

Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks!
