Description:
What does NOISEWORDFILTER in the server voyager.ini do?

Resolution:
NOISEWORDFILTER, or dynamic noise word reduction, improves the performance of keyword searches, particularly in large databases. It eliminates common words from a user's query for the purposes of searching but retains them for the purposes of relevance ranking.

In the server-side voyager.ini file, NOISEWORDFILTER=Y will enable this feature (default setting is N). Dynamic noise word reduction uses these stop words:
AND
OR
NOT
OF
IN
THE
WITH
TO
FOR
