[jira] [Created] (JSPWIKI-1133) Can't search for: a

FP created JSPWIKI-1133:
---------------------------

             Summary: Can't search for: a
                 Key: JSPWIKI-1133
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JSPWIKI-1133
             Project: JSPWiki
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Search
    Affects Versions: 2.11.0-M7
         Environment: * Debian 10
 * Tomcat 9: 9.0.31-1~deb10u2
 * OpenJDK-JRE 11: 11.0.7+10-3~deb10u1
 * JSPWiki 2.11.0-M7
            Reporter: FP


There are no search results when a user searches for »a« (just the single letter, without »«). Every other single letter, e.g. »b«, … works fine.

Page count: > 5000 with lots of pages containing the letter »a«.

Posted by Murray Altheim <mu...@altheim.com>.
That's not a bug, as 'a' is one of the search engine's "stop words":

   "a", "an", "and", "are", "as", "at", "be", "but", "by",
   "for", "if", "in", "into", "is", "it",
   "no", "not", "of", "on", "or", "such",
   "that", "the", "their", "then", "there", "these",
   "they", "this", "to", "was", "will", "with"
   https://stackoverflow.com/questions/17527741/what-is-the-default-list-of-stopwords-used-in-lucenes-stopfilter

Any word in the Lucene stop word list can't be searched on, as it is (by
default) not indexed. So you *can* search on a stop word but the engine
has not indexed it. Lucene is the engine behind JSPWiki, Solr,
ElasticSearch and most web sites.

Cheers,

Murray
