TextMap provides you with a default, global Ignore List and a Case Ignore Words list. Both lists are used by TextMap to skip or ignore words and text from both lists during searches. Words or alphanumeric text can be added or deleted from either list. When search queries are performed, any words or text added to the lists are skipped and not included in search results or tallied as search "hits".
Ignore List vs. Case Ignore Words
| • | Ignore List — This is TextMap's default, global listing of all ignore words and is automatically included when each case is created. Any changes you make to the Ignore List will apply to the current case and all future cases created in TextMap. Access the default Ignore List from the Tools menu by clicking Options and clicking the Ignore Words tab. |
| • | Case Ignore Words — Any additions or deletions you make the the Case Ignore Words list apply to the current case only. Access the Case Ignore Words list from the Tool menu by clicking Case Index and then clicking Case Ignore Words. |
If you modify the ignore word lists, you will want to rebuild the case index to reflect those changes. See Rebuilding the case index.
|
When you create new cases, you may want to review words included in the Ignore List from previous cases. Use the Case Words Ignore List to add words that are specific to current case needs.
|
You can export either ignore word list to review all words or print a list of words to reference. You can also import the ignore word lists to use in other cases.
