Selecting text languages for an object store

To make searches as effective as possible, select a language set for the object store that reflects the languages of your documents. This selected language set constitutes the possible languages for a document. For example, if the possible languages are English and French, IBM® Content Search Services identifies the language for a document as either English or French. This language identification occurs when the document is indexed.

About this task

Important: If the language for a document is misidentified, the document might not be findable by a language-aware search: only an exact-match search is guaranteed to work. Also, wildcard searches might be affected.

  1. Access the CBR-related properties in the administration console:

    3. In the details pane, click the Text Search tab.
  2. In the Selected Languages field, select the possible languages.
  3. In the Default language field, select one text language as the default language.
