German Compound Word Not Found if Part of the Word Is in the Noise Word List
ID: Q229722
|
The information in this article applies to:
-
Microsoft Index Server version 2.0
SYMPTOMS
If German language support is installed for Index Server 2.0 and used to index German documents containing compound words, the following problem may occur. If one part of the compound word has an entry in the noise word list of Index Server 2.0, the queried word is not found in queries.
For example, if the queried word is "Dreiklang," which is composed of "Drei" and "klang," "Drei" is listed in the German noise word list. Therefore, "Dreiklang" as a whole is not found. If "Drei" is deleted from the German noise word list, "Dreiklang" as a whole word is found, but other words like "Dreikanal" are also found.
