Hi,
I sent this out last Friday and didn't get any responses so I'm trying
again on a Tuesday.  ☺

Hi Everyone,

Happy Friday!  This week we are struggling with initial articles (or lack
thereof) in title index searches.

We have a little problem searching for a book with the title Th3 brav3, the
title in the 245 field, if the title index is selected and the title is
searched as the brave.  The latter title is in the 246 field but, as that
field has no initial articles, the word 'the' is missing. I suspect this is
because the title index search is looking for the character string the +
the character string brave and 'the' is missing.

Is there a way to have the system use stop words in the title index without
messing up searches for where 'the' is an actual word in French or
Vietnamese?



Thanks,
Janet
