Mark Gilbert	Tuesday 24 February 2004 9:04:51 pm Hi I am trying to do a search on my sight and when I enter some 3 and 4 character words that are in my articles, almost on every page, eZ comes back with an error message that it could not find that word. I have reindexed my site. I have checked the tables for errors. I have changed the ini setting - MaximumSearchLimit - it seems that this setting has no affect. I have tried a number of things and none of them have worked. But if I search on a less common word it finds it right away. Version 3.3-3 (3.3) SVN revision 5019 PHP 4.3.4
Hans Melis	Tuesday 24 February 2004 10:56:59 pm Hi Mark, It sounds to me like the word you're searching for is so common for a lot of objects that the search engine treats it as a stopword. Check [SearchSettings] in site.ini for the default values of the stopword settings and try playing with them to see if they have any effect on your search. Looking in the database to see how many objects contain your common words can help you with finding the right values. hth -- Hans Hans http://blog.hansmelis.be
Mark Gilbert	Wednesday 25 February 2004 9:03:31 am Thanks for the info. It sounds like that should work. I could not find the settings you mentioned in my site.ini. So I searched the eZ site and found the following: site.ini: [SearchSettings] # StopWordThresholdValue= StopWordThresholdPercent= Is this what you were talking about?? Are thier any other search settings that would be useful??

Hi Mark,

Thanks for the info. It sounds like that should work. I could not find the settings you mentioned in my site.ini. So I searched the eZ site and found the following:

site.ini:
[SearchSettings]
#
StopWordThresholdValue=
StopWordThresholdPercent=

Is this what you were talking about??

Are thier any other search settings that would be useful??
