1 Overview
When doing a quick search in M-Files using the default search engine (DtSearch), the search might not give any results if the used search term(s) consists only of "common" words.
2 Cause and Reason
Common words such as "the" and "be" are considered as noise words and are as default not used in searches to avoid too many search results.
3 Solution / Workaround
You can find the complete list of (language specific) noise words in the 'noise.dat' files:
C:\Program Files\M-Files\<version>\Server\<language>oise.dat
If you need to use these words as a search terms, the following steps are needed:
1) Remove the word from the language-specific noise.dat -file
2) Run 'Rebuild Full-text Search Index' for the Vault, Note! Depending on the Vault size this operation can take a long time and this action should be planned with care.
3) Try searching again
