Stopwords

This section allows you to manage stopwords. Stopwords are words that carry little or ambiguous meaning and are not helpful in search queries (e.g., and, or, the, a, with, etc.). Removing these words from search phrases ensures that search results are more relevant.

To add or edit stopwords, navigate to System -> Search Management -> Manage Stopwords. The table below displays the list of created stopwords.

Each stopword should be placed on a new line.
