Defining the list of preserved terms

You can use preserved terms to ensure that some terms are not removed as part of the indexing and querying processes. For example, the term “US” would be removed from any extracted text if the term “us” was entered in the list of stopwords. The case-sensitive list of preserved terms ensures that “us” will be removed, but “US” is indexed and made available to the query calculations.

You can change the list of preserved terms in one of two ways:

NoteThe preserved term list must be UTF-8 encoded and changed before you index any documents, as preserved terms require special handling during indexing. If you have already indexed documents, changing the preserved terms has no effect, because the terms must still be queried exactly as before to produce matches (as the terms are fixed in the indexes).
