Hi all

I am experimenting with Oracle Text and CLOBs in Oracle 8.1.7 and 
have run into something strange.

I have a table, LRMI_NOTE, with column NOTE_DATA that is 
defined as a CLOB.

SELECT NOTE_DATA FROM LRMI_DATA;

NOTE_DATA
==============
this is starting test

I have built both ctxsys.context and ctxsys.ctxcat indexes. When I 
run:

select * from lrmi_note where contains(note_data, 'test') > 0
or 
select * from lrmi_note where contains(note_data, 'starting') > 0

I get back the record. But when I run:

select * from lrmi_note where contains(note_data, 'is') > 0
or
select * from lrmi_note where contains(note_data, 'this') > 0

I don't get anything back. The same happens when I used the 
catsearch() function.

I updated this column, set to various strings so that "this" and "is" 
were in different positions in the string, but couldn't get anything 
back using "is" or "this" in my queries.

Can anyone explain this?

Thanks

Witold
