One possible approach is you can populate the titles in a field (say
exactMatch) and point your search query to exactMatch:"160 Associates LP"
OR text:""160 Associates LP"
assuming that you have all the text populated into the field called "text"

you can also use field level boosting with the above query, example
exactMatch:"160 Associates LP"^10 OR text:""160 Associates LP"^5

RE: dropping noise words and maintaining the relevancy

[Susheel Kumar <su...@thedigitalgroup.net>]

Hello,

On dropping noise words we have scenario that we have to only drop ending noise words. For e.g. "160 Associates LP", the noise words here are Associates and LP but we only want to drop the LP one which is a ending noise word.

If we use stop words, it will drop both words and make search key as "160". 

Any suggestion?

Thanks in advance.
