    Certain search terms do not bring back results. Noise words?

    I have used UmbSearch2 in a site but seem to have an issue where certain terms aren't returning any results. The only thing I have been able to narrow it down to is words that relates to a place, e.g. Africa, Scotland, Scottish, etc. These are all words that exist in the site and UmbSearch2 will pick up other words on the same page. Although it's not all place names. For example:

    On one of the pages in the site, one sentence ends "born in Scotland to a Pakistani family". "in", "to", and "a" return no results, as you would expect. These are valid noise words. Searching for "born", "Pakistani" or "family" will return the page. Searching for "Scotland" will, like the valid noise words, return nothing.

    I have re-indexed the site and I know it is not an indexing issue. Has anyone else come across that and is there a fix?
