Hi, It's hard to determine the issue with seeing the data getting indexed and the search that is ran. if you create a recreation following the below guidelines, you're much more likely to get accurate answers. > **[Elasticsearch Platform — Find real-time answers at scale](https://www.elastic.co)** > > Power insights and outcomes with the Elasticsearch Platform and AI.

_If I search "to" should exclude all results and get me 0 results and what they are doing is bringing me all results where it finds "a".

Sorry, still need more context to be of any help. Can you please create a curl based recreation as described here: > **[Elasticsearch Platform — Find real-time answers at scale](https://www.elastic.co)** > > Power insights and outcomes with the Elasticsearch Platform and AI. See into your data and find answers that matter with enterprise solutions designed to help you build, observe, and protect. Try Elasticsearch free today. Minimally, I need to see how the index is created, how the data is indexed, and how the data is searched.

Here's a tip that might help... I like to use facets in order to determine what terms are actually being stored in the underlying engine. So run a query for your specific document and add a facet on the field you are having issues with. That will show you if stopwords are actually making it into the index or something else is going on.

_My query combines:_ _this_: [http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/query-dsl/filtered-query/\*](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/query-dsl/filtered-query/*) this: \*[http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/query-dsl/nested-filter/](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/query-dsl/nested-filter/) \*and this: \* [http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/query-dsl/dis-max-query/](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/query-dsl/dis-max-query/) \*and works perfectly for what I need. I just need to add that excluded 2-letter words. Nothing more ..! So hard to understand is it? \* -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

It is very hard to understand without any real details 🙂 All I can do at this point is show you a recreation of things working: > Please provide a reproduction to allow others to reproduce and troubleshoot the issue or you are likely on your own.
