Exercises
1. Using the methods outlined in the chapter, experiment with a set of documents to create, attach, and
search an index.
2. Build a set of stopwords for your test index, and then try searching using excluded terms.
3. Experiment with using keywords and subject terms.
4. Add the terms to the individual documents in your collection, and then rebuild the index. Can you
see the value of building a Readme file to organize the specialized search terms?
Project
Using the project files in the ch15_project folder on the topic's Web site, create and associate
an index file with a set of documents. The Catalog folder contains scanned and captured
content from the first year of the Marshall Star, NASA's longest-running publication. The file is
large and it will take a little time to download over a broadband connection. You will work with
the 13 files from 1960, the first year of the publication.
