Setting apicp exactphrase parameters

[WI-User]

I want to search for the documents with the exact phrase. I have the following setting in the script newsearch:

<switch $sufs>
<case 0><apicp exactphrase 1>
<case 1><apicp suffixproc 1>
<apicp minwordlen 5>
<$x= "'" "s" "es"><apicp suffix $x>
<case 2><apicp suffixproc 1>
<apicp minwordlen 5>
</switch>

However when I search for say "Hello world" (without quotes) it seem to be fetching documents with noise in between. i.e. I get documents with strings "Hello there world" in it. However if I put "Hello world" within quotes it seem to be working. Is there anyway I can make "Hello world", without quotes, to match only those documents with exact phrase "Hello world"

Thanks

I am bit confused with the example you have given. Does it just look for only "any two" words between "state" and "art" or "any number of words" ?

I mean does it return documents containing "state in art", "state of art", "state in the complex art" etc..

If I search for "blood cancer" without quotes at "www.personalmd.com/search.shtml" with "exact phrase" as search criteria then I am getting documents with "Blood Test May Detect Cancer", "Blood Test Predicts Prostate Cancer". Is this correct ?

Thanks for your help.

I am a new user to the Texis product and have a questions regarding NOISE words and searching in general.

Question ...
I enter "About Morse" (without quotes) as my query and I expect to get at least 1 result back because About Morse is a top level menu item and appears in the <TITLE> tags of my page. I understand that "about" is a noise word and should be ignored and the search should take place with just "morse" (no quotes) as the query. As the website contains the word morse everywhere I expect a large number of hits .... but, my results tell me that no documents where found.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Rob.

Look at the HTML source of the results page in your browser: there may be error messages in comments; what are they? Is this a standard Webinator search? If not, what is the exact SQL query, and what indexes exist on the table?

There are no error messages in the html. After investigation (and some support) it turns out that the url I was creating to call the search script wasn't encoding the query,
e.q.
About Morse was http://......&query="About Morse".
It should be http://......&query="About+Morse"
