Stopwords are words that can be found very often in texts (articles, prepositions, etc.) and therefore lead to a large number of irrelevant search results when searching for them.
With search queries in whose search text stopwords occur – however not exclusively – the hits relating only to one or more stopwords can be suppressed. To do this, proceed as follows:
installation_dir/3rdparty/vdk/common/uni/vdk30.stp.
Place each stopword onto an individual line. (As a template you might use the stopwords in the files
installation_dir/3rdparty/vdk/common/uni/stopword.xx.)The defined stopwords will now be observed in search queries using the FREETEXT operator. Example: If "the" has been defined as a stopword, the search query
<#FREETEXT> "the Teddy"
will find only documents containing the word "Teddy".
If a FREETEXT search query exclusively contains stopwords, they will not be ignored.
