KB Summary by Now Assist

Description

Table-Specific Stop Words, not included in the global [ts_word] table, do not work and are not considered in searches.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Navigate to System Definition > Text Indexes.

  2. Open the table entry kb_knowledge.

  3. In the Table-Specific Stop Words related list, add the work "for" as not a stop word.

  4. Edit an existing KB article and add the word "for" in it.

  5. Wait for the index job to process, or proactively re-index the Knowledge table in case several articles have been edited.

  6. Search in the KB for the keyword "for".

    Note that "for" is still considered as a stop word.
