Stefanie Salbaum	Thursday 23 August 2007 11:56:22 pm Hi. At first I was trying to find a similar problem via ez-search - but I think, it's too special. :o) Here is the problem: An actual content-management-system of one customer of us is realised with EZ Version 3.5.1. Since half a year the search shows problems to find different articles. E.g.: 1. Entries like "acs" could not be found. (There are more then 50 entries with this phrase in the cms.) 2. Entries like "spannung" or "spannung*" (this is one of the most used words in the cms) could not be found, too. 3. However phrases like "-XHV", "SRM-3000" or "high-" with special characters get a lot of hits. The searchindex does not show any errors. It seems ok... I don't know where I have to search?! To me, this makes no sense. Any help greatly appreciated! Thanks! Steffi
Bruce Morrison	Friday 24 August 2007 1:00:45 am Hi Stefanie There is actually some code in the search that will exclude frequent words. From 3.5.2 // Loop every word and insert result in temporary table include_once( 'kernel/classes/ezcontentobjecttreenode.php' ); $showInvisibleNodesCond =& eZContentObjectTreeNode::createShowInvisibleSQLString( true ); foreach ( $searchPartsArray as $searchPart ) { $stopWordThresholdValue = 100; if ( $ini->hasVariable( 'SearchSettings', 'StopWordThresholdValue' ) ) $stopWordThresholdValue = $ini->variable( 'SearchSettings', 'StopWordThresholdValue' ); $stopWordThresholdPercent = 60; if ( $ini->hasVariable( 'SearchSettings', 'StopWordThresholdPercent' ) ) $stopWordThresholdPercent = $ini->variable( 'SearchSettings', 'StopWordThresholdPercent' ); $searchThresholdValue = $totalObjectCount; if ( $totalObjectCount > $stopWordThresholdValue ) { $searchThresholdValue = (int)( $totalObjectCount * ( $stopWordThresholdPercent / 100 ) ); } // do not search words that are too frequent if ( $searchPart['object_count'] < $searchThresholdValue ) You need to tweak the StopWord settings in site.ini See: http://ez.no/doc/ez_publish/technical_manual/3_9/reference/configuration_files/site_ini/searchsettings Cheers Bruce My Blog: http://www.stuffandcontent.com/ Follow me on twitter: http://twitter.com/brucemorrison Consolidated eZ Publish Feed : http://friendfeed.com/rooms/ez-publish

Bruce Morrison	Friday 24 August 2007 4:38:12 am Hi Stefanie Did you clear the cache? What values have you got 'StopWordThresholdValue' & 'StopWordThresholdPercent' set to? I believe that if you set 'StopWordThresholdValue' to a large value (say 1000000) or 'StopWordThresholdPercent' = 100 that the exclusion will not happen.

Stefanie Salbaum	Monday 27 August 2007 6:07:57 am Hello Bruce, thanks for your reply. Yes, I cleared the cache. And here are the SearchSettings: StopWordThresholdPercent = 80 StopWordThresholdValue = 100 Cheers, Steffi
