Setting up words to ignore when using Solr in Studio Server

Info: Performing the steps described in this article requires direct server access. Depending upon how your system is hosted and the level of access you have to that system, coordination may be required with your Partner or WoodWing Support team. For a full overview of the steps that need to be done by WoodWing and how to request them, see WoodWing Cloud - Change management.

The default installation of Solr contains a list of very commonly used words that are ignored when users use them in a search.

Example: Such words include: 'a', 'the', 'on', 'at', 'can', 'go', and so on.

Including these words in a search would result in files that may not be related to what the user is actually searching for.

The stop words list

This list is referred to as the 'stop words' list. Because the list that is shipped with Solr is not very comprehensive and is for English only, Studio Server provides alternative lists. These lists are more comprehensive and available in the following languages:

• American English
• Brazilian Portuguese
• Czech
• Dutch
• French
• German
• Italian
• Japanese
• Polish
• Russian
• Spanish
• Traditional Chinese
