Hello,

I am trying to use some stopwords such as **"Mr.", "Mrs.", "Senior", " Junior", "etc"**

I have my mapping attached below.

But somehow I get the results when I type these words as queries.

Can somebody help me in this case ?

Thanks  
Siddharth

You may need to put your mapping into gist/pastebin/etc and link to it instead?

I don't know why is it not able to stop the words in the list! Do you have any idea ?

Well you have a lowercase filter just before your filter\_stop\_custom and your stop words have uppercase letters ;). Try to move your lowercase filter after the stop words filter or use lowercase for your stop words.
