A weird Problem with searching Help us please!!!!
Only one link seems to be the problem. When you search using quotation marks "journal of treatment and prevention", we retrieve almost 3000 links with word "journal" in them. But not "treatment" or "prevention". All three terms should be found in each entry using this type of search. It seems to be only this title. We have tried other "journal of ......." titles with successful results. Why does only this link/title behave oddly? Thanks if you know how to fix this.

It could be that these two words are stop words and hence ignored?

Hi, "treatment" and "prevention" should not be stop words. They are pretty unique words. Do you know how I can find out what are my stop words? Are they listed in the settings? Thanks

Hi, I search "treatment" and "prevention" and they come up ok. The problem is when you search "journal of treatment and prevention" as a phrase with quotes. If you search it without quotes, they are also ok. So what are the possibilities?

can we see the actual entry - perhaps there is something in that entry - a space or something..

Not quite sure - but hard to tell without seeing it in action

Hi,

What kind of indexing are you using? Click on 'Database', select 'Links' and 'Properties', click on 'Go' and let me know what the indexing scheme is set to.

Alternatively, you can send me access information through the support system and we'll check it out for you.
