when I query the database with full-text search and I enter such keywords as "a", "an" I get this error message:

Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers (0x80040E14)
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Execution of a full-text operation failed. A clause of the query contained only ignored words.

How can I filter out ignored words from the search? Is there a file where they are defined?

You can actually search for those words, if that is what you want, you would:

- Stop the Microsoft Search service.

- In the Windows explorer locate noise.enu file under

\MSSQL7\FTDATA\SQLServer\Config\ directory.

- Open it in Notepad. Locate the words you want to remove from 'noise words
list' and delete them.

- Save the file.

- Start the Microsoft Search service.

- Rebuild your full-text catalog



Now your query should come up with results.

If you want to just filter out those words, you would have to write a client side component that does that filtering.
