remove a word from default noise word list

Post by legedza.henry »

I have had a request to remove "it" from the noise list as there are people who search for IT (Information technology).

Is there a simple way of doing this?

Thanks
Henry

See <apicp noise> to set the noise list as desired. You'll have to take the default list from the docs, remove the undesired words, then supply the new list to apicp.

Sorry to be a pain but could you please supply instructions on how to do this - our former developer who looked webinator is no longer available so we need simple to follow instructions on how to do this.

Thanks

Place this near where other apicp settings are made.
Don't forget to make desired changes to the list first though.

That's my problem I don't where this change needs to be made? Is it in the dowalk or search scripts or somewhere else?

Again apologies for being so vague but I haven't had to do this before.

Sorry, I was thinking this was the vortex forum and you had your own script. If you're using webinator, just paste the list of noise words into the "noise list" box on the search settings page.

So there is no way of simply editing the default list and removing the word or words I no longer require as noise words?

Thanks
