Search function issue

[nujabes]

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.

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

No search results are shown for stopwords

Those are “stop” words https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.1/static/textsearch-dictionaries.html#TEXTSEARCH-STOPWORDS 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”

Thanks for your information. I will consider whether I should ask the customization.
