Preserved terms

You can use preserved terms to ensure that some terms are not removed as part of the indexing and querying processes. For example, the term “US” is removed from any extracted text if you entered “us” in the list of preserved terms. The case-sensitive list of preserved terms ensures that “us” is removed, but “US” is indexed and made available to the query calculations.
