near the end of lib/python/SearchIndex/TextIndex.py is a list called 'stop_words'
[Zope Dev] It would be good to move this out of the .py file into an editable, internationalizable resource file.
Agreed! And then there's the *multi* lingual issue too. What if I have Dutch and English on my site?
Together with French and German and Chinese and Antarctic? In other words: it would be a good idea to make stopwords/indexing configurable. The second question is on what basis it should be configurable: on a document basis or automatically (based on a language property/header info/metainfo) or manually (on a folder basis). Hm, this is only the surface - because if you think a bit more about it you would want the index/catalog to yield multilingual results from a single search :-(. I do not want to think about what this implies. It seems like you run into a _lot_ of complexities with multilingual issues, and still these are real issues for many of us. Rik
