Apart from words like and, when, that, etc. Is there a list of those too common terms?

Hi Yiannis, look at the end of this page.

This list looks configurable, but I have no experience therein.

That looks interesting. So, is this option proposed to only be for the front end and not the searches within the txp back end?

This mode needs a FULLTEXT index, which is on (Body, Title) by default. So it would be mainly for frontend.

Oh, that makes it even more interesting. The words currently in the list don’t cause issues for most situations, I’d imagine.

Unless you are searching for things like, “Victoria and Albert Museum”. Although it would still find “Victoria” and “Albert Museum”, even without the “and”, right?

Patch landed in 4.8.8, should be testable few hours later on demo site, via appending m=natural to search URLs.

the slogan yields no results, slogan does. Is that the expected behaviour?

ps. It appears that the results are the same in the current vanilla install.

Demo site is not rebuilt yet, one more hour to wait.

Unfortunately, MATCH ... AGAINST does not seem to work on 4.8.8 demo server at all (whatever mode). Please test somewhere else.

Yes, “Victoria” and ”Albert Museum” should return some valid and relevant results, I would think.

But a question. That MySQL word list referenced above by Oleg is English specific. It is not clear if similar lists are included for other languages in the core MySQL code. Additionally, how does this work for multi-lingual sites ?

What a pity.

Incidentally, on the demo site I get the “Search results : 1 article found matching your search request” message, but no article link in the search results…

I checked the admin and the search_display form does include an article tag: <txp:article class="article-list" wraptag="ul" />.

I created a test article and did another search, but still got empty search results.

Is this a known issue in 4.8.8?

Thanks for the feedback.

Good point about other languages!

Please look at a source of the page for <a> link with your URL and an empty text, though.

Homonyms… Thanks for the report.
