two character search

I am having a trouble implementing a two character search. Any two letter search I put comes back with:

Nothing to search for in query in the function get equivs
Setmmapi IT Failed
Metamorph open failed.

I have seen noise words like "front", "the" etc. give these errors before, but why all two-letter words are branded as noise. What do I need to modify in my noise-filter to avoid this?

Thanks,
Juzer

"It" which is what that particular search was is a noise word. Most two letter words are likely to be noise as they are common words. You can set the specific noise words you want, or disable noise words altogether.

Whatever noise word settings you choose need to be applied when creating metamorph indices as well.
Or just turn on keepnoise for the index creation so that any noise settings will work without having to change the index.
