Oxygen XML Forum

Hello,
I am trying to get a better understanding of how to use the Search in Oxygen WebHelp and what kind of results I can expect to get.
If I type in the following words " This task was prevented from being added" (without quotes obviously) I see groupings of results where the first grouping is titled
Results for: from, prevented, task

Does the algorithm remove the words 'this', 'was', 'being' and 'added' and if so what is the logic for doing this?
Any advice appreciated,
Regards,
Ann

Hello,

First of all, the WebHelp search does not support exact match searching.
Secondly, results depends on the content being searched. The words listed after the "Results for:" label are the words that have been found in the index of the content, not the words searched for.
However, there is a set of words, named "stop words" that are filtered by the content indexer. You can find the list in the OUTPUT/oxygen-webhelp/search/index-1.js file.

Bogdan
