adding to noise words file (noise.enu)... new words not taking effect?

For some reason I cannot get these new noise words to be
taken into account. I have stopped the Microsoft Search
service, edited the noise.enu file, started the service
again, and created a new index on my table.
Unfortunately, none of the noise words I have added have
taken effect.
Please advise if you have any suggestions.
Thanks,
Rick
noise.enu is for American English, noise.eng is for British English. Did you
do a full population? For words which were previously noise words to be
indexable and queryable you must do a full population.
Where did you edit your noise word list? C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL
Server\MSSQL\FTdata\SQLServer\Config is the correct location for Win2k.

Oh my... GREAT POINT! I was using the wrong noise.enu
file. When I read up on this the article stated it was
under the System32 folder, and it is. The entire point
of the article was editing that file, so I have no idea
why they would suggest using that location. I'm guessing
the multiple locations has something to do with being
able to specify an individual/local list, as opposed to
just one under the SQL Server folders.
Thanks again... much appreciated!

AFAIK the files in the System32 folder are for the non-SQL indexes for
Microsoft Search - so those will be for indexing files, etc.
Dan
|||actually they are for Index Server/Indexing Services which is not MSSearch,
but is similar to it.
