I was starting to notice wrong results and I noticed something very weird. This thing fails: def test\_find\_word\_to(self): query = pyes.StringQuery('to', search\_fields='name') self.assertEqual(search(query).total, 1) After I'm manually pushing something in a fresh index with a name "to", how is that possible? Some words are not handled in the same way? ``` {'name': 'to', ``` 'created\_datetime': '2012-01-14T13:11:47Z', 'doc\_type': 'User', 'ideas': range(20), 'description': 'find me'}, -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

I tried for example also with the 'english' analyzer but still the same... So is there anywhere the list of stop words? 2013/2/7 Clinton Gormley [clint@traveljury.com](mailto:clint@traveljury.com): > > query = pyes.StringQuery('to', search\_fields='name') > > self.assertEqual(search(query).total, 1) > > 'to' is a stopword, which is removed. > > you can setup an analyzer which doesn't remove stopwords. > > have a look at the section on analysis: > [Elasticsearch Platform — Find real-time answers at scale | Elastic](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/index-modules/analysis/) > > clint > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to [elasticsearch+unsubscribe@googlegroups.com](mailto:elasticsearch+unsubscribe@googlegroups.com). > For more options, visit [https://groups.google.com/groups/opt\_out](https://groups.google.com/groups/opt_out). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

"to" is an english word! Look here: [http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/lucene/dev/trunk/lucene/analysis/common/src/java/org/apache/lucene/analysis/core/StopAnalyzer.java](http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/lucene/dev/trunk/lucene/analysis/common/src/java/org/apache/lucene/analysis/core/StopAnalyzer.java) If you don't want stop words, use a Simple analyzer or build your own analyzer using custom analyzer.
