Stopwords Configuration

Valid from Datafari 4.0

Stopwords allows you to ignore identified words at the indexing phase.

If a word listed in the stopword file is found, then Datafari will ignore it when doing the indexing of the corresponding document, except if they are only words listed as stopwords in the query.

In order to create Stopwords, you need to be connected with the search expert role.

Go to the administration interface. Then, go to the administration left menu, click on Search Engine Configuration and select Stopwords in the dropdown list.

Stopwords are language specific. You need to select the language for which you want to manage the stopwords. Once this is done, you get a text window allowing you to edit the stopwords list. Note that only one search expert at a given time can edit this file. By default, a list is prefilled but deactivated using the # special character.

Once you are ok with your modifications, click on the 'Confirm' button. The modifications are immediately taken into account with no further action.

When editing the text file, please respect the format used by the Solr 6.x for its stopwords file :
