Just a FYI … I’ve made some adjustments to the search engine configuration.
1. I disabled typo tolerance. I found that it was getting hits on words that just don’t make sense. For example: I searched for “sonar” and it was matching on “solar”.
2. I added a lot of terms to the dictionary and synonym list.
2.1 Terms like S/36, System/36, & S36, will all match for the same search term.
2.2 Searching for “7.3” and “V7R3” will match the same.
2.3 Related to 2.2, I added mappings for all releases (1.1 to 7.6).
3. I also added a number of ’stop words’ (words that will be ignored by the search engine) to avoid unnecessary matching on common words.
4. All administrative messages (like this one), and replies, will be excluded.
If you encounter any problems with the search engine, or have suggestions, please contact me PRIVATELY (david@xxxxxxxxxxxx <mailto:david@xxxxxxxxxxxx>).
