Any idea how to avoid "The query contained only ignored words" exception?

[s***@gmail.com]

I understand this exception is caused by my query contains only noise
words, which are stored in noise.eng or sth similar.

The question is about how I can avoid the exception?

Then I assume I have to scan the input query to filter the noise word.
I think it's silly, because Indexing server will scan the file and
filter the query again! It's like doing a duplicate work.

Stop using queries that contain only ignored words. Okay, it's
obvious, but that's what you need to do.

Hello,

You could copy the noise word content into a new table in your database
(or XML file) and then scan the searched expression. If it contains
only noise words, you could add a dummy word to the expression so the
search returns nothing. (for example the expression "a the an" would
become "a the an foobar").

That's how I do it anyway. There may exists better solutions.

Hope this helps

err, just to avoid confusion, my first sentence should read "You could
copy the noise words FILE content into a new table..."
