Common word problem in this forum

Would it be possible for the forum administrator to remove the word batch from the common word list? It precludes searching for just that term.

Because batch is listed as common word, it is not possible to search for that word alone. If I search, for example, for the word pair batch process I get false hits for the word process alone and no hits for the phrase batch processing.

It would be useful to be able to search for just batch. I see no reason this should not be allowed.

Thanks in advance for your consideration.

Dear customer,

I have forwarded your request to our administrator.
But we will have to check if this is possible.
The forum blocks the word because it simply is getting too many hits for it.

kind regards,
Arne Ketelhohn.

This seems to me to be an indication that it is an important search term for your customers. If the users decide they are getting too many hits from it, perhaps in some cases they can refine the search with additional terms; however, for some purposes it is the single word is the search term that best meets the need. Please pass this on as an additional part of the recommendation.

Thanks for your consideration.
