### Indexing
When a business object is saved the AyaNova server indexes text and other unique fields into the search system. Indexing is the process of breaking out all the unique words in a business object and recording them in a central "dictionary" with a key that indicates the record type and id of the business object that those words were entered on so that they can be searched for and the exact business object they were entered in retrieved.

Indexing is the process of breaking out all the unique words in a business object and recording them in a central "dictionary" with a key that indicates the record type and id of the business object that those words were entered on so that they can be searched for later.

AyaNova keeps a list of the most common stop words for each provided [Translation](adm-translations.md) under the translation key names of "StopWords1" to "StopWords7" to break them into smaller chunks for processing. Not all languages require all stopword keys to be used, for example Spanish uses all 7 stopword slots but German requires 3.
While we do not recommend it except in specific exceptional circumstances, it is possible to view the list of stop words and even add your own or remove any that need to be indexed for your business by examining and editing the "StopWords\*" keys in the translation form for the translations in use by your users.

The `*` asterisk wildcard character can be used in a search term to search for words that begin with, end with or contain a portion of a word.
Begins with searches look like this `mon*` which would match "monday", "Montana", "mongoose" etc.
Ends with searches look like this `*ay` which would match with "sunday", "tray", "spray" etc.
Contains searches look like this `*oul*` which would match with "would", "boulder", "outlook", "soul" etc. (Note that contains can match starts and ends as well as contained within words)
You can use multiple wildcard terms and mix and match with non-wildcard terms so, for example this is a valid search phrase: `*att* rain blue *spa ors*`.
