Full Text Search Noise Words and Thesaurus Configurations

  • Article

I have heard that Full Text Search uses a noise words to eliminate meaningless words in searches. I have also heard that a thesaurus is used, but I am not exactly sure how. Can you provide some details related to how both of these technologies are used in Full Text Search? I am interested in more of a background on these specific Full Text Search technologies as well as where the files are located and how I can update them.
