Index Server Faq

What's new

2/2/0

Noticed some problems with my noise parsers. First off the Visual C++ program doesn't work as advertised, secondly the TSQL noise parser doesn't work either. Thirdly searchpage1.htm works, but does not parse final noise words. I hope to fix these problems soon. I think some of the problems have shown up because I had posted the code into Word documents and the code got mangled, it parses and compiles fine - it just doesn't work well.

Updated the thesaurus page.

Updated the noise section for SQL FTS.

Also updated iFilters. I found a whole bunch more iFilters using search.msn.com.

I also have noticed that the new msn search does not index noise words any more. You can now search on the, and a. the currently returns the number one hit whitehouse.gov. a, returns aol.com as the number one hit.
