I find 518 lines with "between" in the documentation, so I am not sure if removing that stopword would be beneficial. But there is an index for the documentation: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/bookindex.html#indexdiv-B "BETWEEN" is in the index. So is "HAVING". Removing "HAVING" as a stopword would mean indexing "have", and that is obviously not going to help anybody. Yours, Laurenz Albe

HAVING is another stop-word.

Online Documentation Search Issue
The following documentation comment has been logged on the website: Page: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/13/functions-comparison.html Description: Hi, Just an FYI, but I'm running into a somewhat annoying issue with the documentation search that I'm not sure you're aware of. Namely, searching for "BETWEEN" (upper or lowercase) yields zero results. Trying a few different search queries right now, it appears I might be just running into an issue where my query is a stopword, but in this case it's particularly frustrating because (even once I realize that) there is no obvious alternative search query. (I wouldn't have thought to search for "Comparison Functions", the page where it's actually explained.) Is there any way your search platform can be set to index all text that appears in the documentation inside 'code' tags? Or could some sort of suggestion bar be added to the results page so that if a query contains a keyword (especially if it consists entirely of the keyword), a link is presented to go to it's page? Barring that, could searching a stopword trigger a message (and perhaps a link to search it on Google) other than just "no results found"? Thanks, Mike
