Stopwords

Stopwords are words that Horizon ignores or omits from keyword search indexes. (For example, if you want searches to ignore articles, such as “a” or “the,” you can designate these words as stopwords.) You can also specify words that you want Horizon to ignore in browse searches. (For more information, see Initial Articles.)

Horizon comes with these predefined stopwords:

--

at

du

or

a

be

in

that

an

but

into

the

and

by

is

to

are

de

not

was

as

der

of

 

 

The subject delimiter (--) is defined as a stopword so staff or borrowers will not have to enter the delimiter as a part of the search in order for the subject listing to display in the search results.

To set up stopwords

View: stopword
Process: Administration\Index Control Menu\Stop Word Table

In the Stopword field, enter the word you want to use as a stopword.

Note: You can choose to use the stopwords you set up for keyword searching in Information Portal as well as staff searching. (For more information on using stopwords in Information Portal, see the Information Portal Administrator’s Guide.)
