Hi,

I using sense in chrome to create an index to prevent stop words from indexing. I new to elastic search, the api seem to be everywhere. or probably i mislooked it. Any ideas how to i go about forming the JSON to create an stop analysis in an index.  
Found some links:  
Put /test/\_settings  
{  
"index": {  
"number\_of\_shards" : 3,  
"analysis": {  
"analyzer": {  
"english" : {  
"type":"english",  
"stopwords" : ["the", "stop1"]  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}  
It does not works. And the terms like "type" are not in the official documents [http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/indices-update-settings.html](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/indices-update-settings.html).  
I might miss out some JSON terms in it.

How to prevent stop words from searching. Should I prevent it from indexing? or before passing the query to search, I should remove those stop words?
