About stop words and special characters

Stop words

Stop words are a set of commonly used words that Alta Personal Archive ignores when it performs a Search or Advanced Search. Alta Personal Archive treats the following words as stop words:

  • a, an, and, are, as, at

  • be, but, by

  • for

  • if, in, into, is, it

  • no, not

  • of, on, or

  • such

  • that, the, their, then, there, these, they, this, to

  • was, will, with

Note:

The stop words are supported in English only, unless your company subscribes to the option to perform enhanced searches in Japanese.

Note the following special cases:

  • In phrase searches a stop word acts as a placeholder for any stop word, or nothing.

    See Phrase searches.

  • The words AND, OR, and NOT act as operators in a Boolean operator search.

    See Boolean operator searches.

Special characters

Alta Personal Archive omits the following special characters from searches:

* @ # $ % ^ & - + = _ { } [ ] , < > ; : / \ ?

Alta eDiscovery prevents you from entering the following special characters into the search boxes: / \ < > #

Note the following special cases:

  • In phrase searches a special character acts as a placeholder for any special character, or nothing.

    See Phrase searches.

  • Question marks and asterisks act as wildcard characters in a wildcard search.

    See Wildcard searches.
