Hi everybody, can someone tell me if the following custom analyzer definition is correct because the stopword filter seems to be not working? "analysis" : { "analyzer" : { "default-analyzer" : { "type" : "custom", "tokenizer" : "standard", "filter" : ["mystop", "mystemmer", "lowercase"] } }, ``` "filter" : { "mystemmer" : { "type" : "stemmer", "language" : "english" }, "mystop" : { "type": "stop", "stopwords" : ["english"] } } } ``` When I look for the word "the" for example, I get results. Thank you ---

The stopwords parameter specifies the actual list of stop words. In your case, only one word is treated as a stop word - english.

Hi! Ok I understand now, but if I want to use several stopwords filters, for example "english" and "spanish" stopwords. How do I have to proceed?

The stopwords parameter uses _lang_ notation: "stopwords" : ["_english_", "_spanish_"] On Saturday, April 28, 2012 3:56:52 AM UTC-4, lyes zaiko wrote: > Hi! > Ok I understand now, but if I want to use several stopwords filters, for > example "english" and "spanish" stopwords.
