Perform Exact Match Searches Using the Initial Article Table

When performing exact match searches, you can set Leap to omit the words defined in the Initial article table from the beginning of the search string. For example, if you search for "The Shining", which is indexed as "Shining", you will get results when typing both "Shining" and "The Shining", because "the" is ignored in the search.

Note:
To specify the words that you want Leap to omit from the search string go to Polaris System Administration (Web-Based) > Tables > Initial Articles.
