Enable automatic stop words for a table
The system can identify and generate stop words when a search term exceeds an occurrence threshold.
Before you begin
Enable text indexing for the table.
Role required: ts_admin or admin
About this task
By default, the TS Index Stats scheduled job identifies and creates stop words for tables with text indexes on a nightly basis. Automatically adding stop words improves your search results by removing search terms that return too many search results.
Procedure
Navigate to All > System Definition > Text Indexes.
Open the text index entry for the table.
Select the Auto stop check box.
In Auto threshold, enter the maximum number of occurrences a search term can have in search results.
When a search term generates more search results than the threshold, the system automatically creates a stop word for the search term.
For example, to create stop words for the task table, see the blog post Configuring auto stop words and regenerating text indexes from a ServiceNow employee on the ServiceNow Community.
Select Update.
Result
The job identifies and creates stop words for the table with a Stop mode value of Index but do not Query and inserts a Comment to indicate that the stop word was generated automatically.
