I create a dictionary using Discourse. Using a search function that Discourse has, you can search whatever words my site has other than the following “give.” You cannot search only “give” somehow. Please help me solve this. [image] KOTOBA TOEFL 【自動詞】ものを与える【他動詞】あげる提供する授ける (用例)I'd like to give this tiny flower to you. 出典 pixabay

You can search for give on meta. https://meta.discourse.org/search?q=give I tried my own site and I can search for ‘give’/ Have you tried searching on other four letter words … like ‘work’,‘save’ maybe.

Nope, I mean that the problem occurs on my site, https://kotoba.wiki/

Try looking at your settings. [image] Is your min search term length less or equal to 4?

Thanks for your suggestion. Mine is 2. So, “Give” should show up. [43]

Hmm I remember reading about stop words somewhere [image] No search results are shown for stopwords Support Those are “stop” words Stop words are words that are very common, appear in almost every document, and have no discrimination value. Therefore, they can be ignored in the context of full text searching. For example, every English text contains words like a and the, so it is useless to store them in an index. However, stop words do affect the positions in tsvector, which in turn affect ranking: I’m not sure about the word ‘give’, but some common English words like ‘a’ and ‘the’ are usually ignored during search. There’s more discussion in that topic but I don’t know if there’s an easy way to fix it.

You might be able to “kinda” bypass this by searching: “giv”“e” or “giv”
