MORE INFORMATION

In addition to applying the service pack, the following modification is needed. The following changes require manual modification so that the previously-modified version of the Schema.txt file is not overwritten. Modify the Schema.txt file in the \Microsoft Site Server\Data\Search\Config directory by inserting the following text right before the end tag </site_server_search_schema>:


<stoplist
    language="Chinese_Simplified"
    file="noise.chs"
    primarylanguage=4
    sublanguage=2>

<stoplist
    language="Chinese_Traditional"
     file="noise.cht"
    primarylanguage=4
    sublanguage=1>

<stoplist
    language="Korean_Default"
    file="noise.kor"
    primarylanguage=18
    sublanguage=1>

This will enable the correct noise word lists for KOR, CHT, and CHS, which makes indexing more efficient and queries more meaningful.

For existing Search catalogs, modify the Schema.txt file found in the \Microsoft Site Server\Data\Search\Projects\Catalog Name\Build directory. After you make the above modification, a full build of the catalog must be performed for this change to take effect.
