Horizon lets you specify which articles (such as “a,” “an,” and “the”) you want to ignore at the beginning of a name or title for browse searches. (For example, if you want Horizon to ignore the article “a” in browse searching, you would enter “a” in the article view. If you search for A Tale of Two Cities, Horizon ignores the “A” and searches for “Tale of Two Cities”.)
In some cases, you may not want the system to ignore the term, as when searching the name “Le Carre” or the title “Los Angeles”. You can also specify these exceptions.
You can also specify words that you want Horizon to ignore in keyword searches. (For more information, see Stopwords.)
Entering an article in the article view does not change any index used in alphabetical searching. You do not have to reindex if you enter articles in the article view. In addition, articles in the article view do not affect processed strings.
