[Zope-dev] RE: [Zope] Need a list of words not indexed by Catalog

[Terrel Shumway]

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.

Subject: [Zope] Need a list of words not indexed by Catalog


Can we get a public list of the words not indexed by the Catalog?

I just spent a few hours being tortured trying to find out why a guy in
the Datbase of 10,000 whose name is 'Max Many', doesn't come up on a
last name search, and guess what, the Catalog doesn't index his last
name.  The word 'many'.  Suprize! This is the third gotcha word we've
expericened (don't try to find C/C++ in a document) and it's makes
people doubt the software.  (I explain about the size of indexes and
such, and I understand it, but every surprise word you can't find is
another step backward.)  

You might publish a list of words you'll never find in the Catalog. 
Just in case one of them happens to be a very big part of someone's
business.
  
All my best,
