Specific value not being indexed

[ergonrod]

Greetings,

So I have a collection that has a Department field

As you can see, there are a couple of documents that has the value 'IT'

For some reason the word 'IT' is not being indexed as shown below

If I replace one of those 'IT' by 'TI', then 'TI' is indexed as normally.

What could be causing this behavior?

Thanks,
Erick

Hi,

the terms depends on the analyzer that is used (some of them are ignoring common words like 'it', 'and', 'the'). What kind of analyzer you are using for the Department field and what field options are set for that field?

You can read more about analyzers here: https://ravendb.net/docs/article-page/5.3/csharp/indexes/using-analyzers#understanding-analyzers

Slightly more context - you are likely using the StandardAnalyzer, which is meant to handle things like full text search.
In those cases, frequently found words( such as: it, and, the, etc) are filtered out.

For your need, you should probably use the Whitespace Analyzer, instead.

Go it!

Thank you both @ppekrol @ayende
