Search Function Issue Summary

The discussion revolves around an issue with the search function on nujabes’ site, https://kotoba.wiki/, where the word “give” cannot be searched. csmu suggests checking the site’s settings, particularly the minimum search term length, which nujabes confirms is set to 2. However, bloomexperiment points out that “give” might be a stop word, which is usually ignored during searches. Chaboi_3000 proposes a workaround by searching for variations of the word, such as “giv”“e”" or “giv”, which csmu confirms works. nujabes thanks everyone for their input and considers seeking customization to resolve the issue.

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.

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.

Is your min search term length less or equal to 4?

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

Hmm I remember reading about stop words somewhere

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”

giv works …
