Search configuration, exclude word/phrase from index

Question

I know I can exclude things down to a column level, but it is possible to exclude a certain word and or phrase from the search indexing?

I have a tag called "Not Applicable" and the client wishes to not have this phrase displayed in the search results, it is just the phrase, they want to see the result without this tag being shown.

Is this possible via configuration instead of having to create a custom results page?

[update]
Been playing with the noisexxx.txt files, but due to the way noise/stop words keep phrases, they still appear, I am going to try with the xslt transformation as suggested here next.

Answer 1

If you want the search results but don't want the phrase to show up in the results page, you could fool around with the search results xsl to either strip out the phrase or at least not highlight it.

Answer 2

One option is to add the words 'Not Applicable' to the list of noise words in "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office Servers\14.0\Data\Config\noiseenu.txt", but that of cause means that you won't be able to search for either of them.

The change of noise words should be followed by:

• stop/start osearch14
• Full crawl
