    Description:
    We can retreive records for Elle (English), Elle (French etc using the search Elle* but not Elle on its own).

    Use of search term Elle also fails to retrieve Elle Book of Decoration but elle book does. All show on Aleph opac when search by Elle - retrieves 14 records but on Primo - none!

    Resolution:
    When certain terms appear to not be searchable, however the records can be found using different search terms, it is likely that the search term is a stopword in a foreign language. (Similar to searching for "the" or "and" will yield 0 results)
    Check whether this stopword appears in any of the files in the following directory (such as stopwords_fre.jsw):

    /exlibris/primo/p<v>_<y>/ng/jaguar/home/profile/analysis/stopwords

    If this search term appears in one of the stopwords files and you do not want it to behave like a stopword when searching - the solution is not to remove it from the stopwords file, rather to add it to the file eng_db.txt which is under:
    /exlibris/primo/p2_1/ng/jaguar/home/profile/analysis/langDB
