Enable or disable the Zing junk filter
When its junk filter is enabled, Zing doesn't index or search for 2-digit numbers or single-character words (unless they are Chinese or Japanese characters). You can enable or disable the junk filter for individual tables.
Before you begin
Role required: admin
About this task
For example, to disable matches for search terms like a or 40 in the Knowledge Base, turn on junk filtering for the kb_knowledge table.
Procedure
Navigate to All > System Definition > Dictionary.
Open the dictionary entry for the table.
In the Attributes related list, set the value of the Text index filter junk attribute:
If you want Zing to include 2-digit numbers and single-character words when indexing and searching the table, set the attribute value to
false.If you want Zing to ignore 2-digit numbers and single-character words when indexing and searching the table, set the attribute value to
true.
Select the additional actions icon
in the Dictionary Entry form header, then select **Save**.
Select the Generate Text Index related link and select OK.
Note:
- To have the desired effect, you may also need to reconfigure the automatic stop words. For example, if a specific 2-digit number appears in all of your problem numbers (92-0001, 92-0002, and so on), the automatic stop word threshold is quickly exceeded and the word is no longer found in searches. To find that 2-digit number in the problem table, you must disable both junk filtering and automatic stop words.
- Disabling the junk filter results in a larger table index. For optimal performance, don't apply this attribute unless it's required.
