Configuring FTS for localization

You can configure FTS for localization only for on-premises deployments.

The ARSystemInstallDir\ftsconfiguration directory contains the files described in the following table that you can use to configure FTS for localization:

Configuration files for FTS

If you modify any of the FTS configuration files, you must restart the server for the changes to take effect.

The FTSLocaleConfig.xml file, in ARSystemInstallDir\ftsconfiguration, contains pointers to the configuration files. For example:

<config>
  <locale locale="en">
     <stopwordfile>enStopword.txt</stopwordfile>
     <rootwordfile>enRootword.txt</rootwordfile>
     <thesaurusfile>enThesaurus.txt</thesaurusfile>
     <indexAnalyzer> </indexAnalyzer>
     <searchAnalyzer> </searchAnalyzer>
     <stemmer>English</stemmer>
  </locale>
  <locale locale="de">
   .
   .
   .

You can include as many locale elements as you need in the FTSLocaleConfig.xml file. By default, AR System server is installed with two-letter locales defined, but you can also include country codes, for example, <locale locale="en_US">.

If any element is blank or missing in any locale section of the FTSLocaleConfig.xml file, Full Text Search does not use that item in the analysis process.

For advanced configuration, you can enter the name of an index analyzer, search analyzer, or stemmer file in the FTSLocaleConfig.xml file. For more information, see Advanced FTS configuration files.

AR System server does not support Full Text Search if you have a read-only database. For more information on using a read-only database, see Using read-only database.

 

Tip: For faster searching, add an asterisk to the end of your partial query. Example: cert*
