transform noise words Option
Use the transform noise words option to suppress an error message if noise words, or stopwords, cause a Boolean operation on a full-text query to return zero rows. This option is useful for full-text queries that use the CONTAINS predicate in which Boolean operations include noise words.
By default, transform noise words is set to 0, and noise words (or stopwords) are not transformed. When a full-text query contains noise words, the query returns zero rows, and SQL Server raises a warning.
Note
The warning is a run-time warning. Therefore, if the full-text clause in the query is not executed, the warning is not raised. For a local query, only one warning is raised, even when there are multiple full-text query clauses. For a remote query, the linked server might not relay the error; therefore, the warning might not be raised.
Noise words (or stopwords) are transformed. They are ignored, and the rest of the query is evaluated.
Example
The following example sets transform noise words to 1.
sp_configure 'show advanced options', 1
RECONFIGURE
GO
sp_configure 'transform noise words', 1
RECONFIGURE
GO
