Setting stop words for full-text searches

Define words or phrases that frequently occur in object text as stop words to help increase the relevance of full-text search results. A IBM® Content Search Services search server ignores any stop words that are included in a full-text search expression. Set the same set of stop words for each server if you want the effect of stop words on full-text search results to be consistent.

Stop words
Stop words do not apply to search expressions that have Boolean operators such as AND, OR, or NOT. Also, stop words only apply to some types of search terms.
Configuring stop words for a server
Configure stop words for a new server or reconfigure stop words for all servers as needed.
Stop word input file: Format reference
The command-line stop word tool reads your specified stop word input file to set the stop words for a server.
