What are Stop Words

Stop words in the search functionality can be set up in order to specify a list of specific words that you would like to have ignored when visitors on your webshop are searching.

The choice of which stop words that you would like to have included specifically for your webshop and for your use case depends on the context and understanding of why you would like to have the word(s) excluded and ignored in the search.

Use Cases

Some common examples and use cases for stop words could be:

• Filler words
• Adverbs
• Verbs
• Adjectives

Generally, whatever word(s) that you feel is needed to explicitly be excluded and ignored from your search is entirely up to you.
