Domanda
We have a Wiki site where we put most of our instructions / process. We are hopping to give people a way to find any instruction there.
However, we noticed that people will not search for keywords, but will ask question in the search bar such as : How do I share my Calendar
. I believe that this negatively impact the search results.
I there a way to ignore the How do I
from the search? I don't mean to not index that nor explicitly exclude it from the results, I mean to search like this isn't in the query.
Soluzione
You could try adding a query rule for the action term "how do I". The action term would be removed and only the remaining terms used in the query rule. The other alternative is to use RegEx.
