About search configuration

You can establish a one-way or a two-way equivalence between words to enrich your users' query results. You access the Thesaurus editor from the Project tab.

You can add stop words. Stop words are ignored by the Endeca search query engine. You access the Stop Words editor from the Project tab.

You can add search characters to the search list. This allows non-alphanumeric characters to be indexed along with alphanumeric characters, rather than be treated as whitespace. You access the Search Characters editor from the Edit > Search Characters menu.

You can enable or disable stemming for a variety of languages. Stemming defines sets of words (for example, "shirt" and "shirts") that should be considered strictly equivalent for all search operations. You access the Stemming editor using the Edit > Stemming command.

You can tune the size of your application's spelling dictionary by instructing Dgidx to exclude small words, large words, and infrequently used words. You access the Spelling Dictionary editor using the Edit > Spelling dictionary command.
