Hi ,

Am using stop words first time .

I am trying to configure stop words and want to see indexing process omits  
these stop words

can you let me know why stop words not getting omitted during indexing .

I still see "AND",  
"AN",  
"THE",  
"The" are still got indexed

The below is index creation request

{  
"settings": {  
"index": {  
"number\_of\_shards": 1,  
"number\_of\_replicas": 0,  
"analysis": {  
"analyzer": {  
"standard": {  
"type": "standard"  
},  
"english": {  
"stopwords": [  
"AND",  
"AN",  
"THE",  
"The",  
""  
],  
"type": "english"  
},  
"cjk": {  
"type": "cjk"  
},  
"french": {  
"type": "french"  
},  
"german": {  
"type": "german"  
},  
"italian": {  
"type": "italian"  
},  
"spanish": {  
"type": "spanish"  
},  
"russian": {  
"type": "russian"  
},  
"arabic": {  
"type": "arabic"  
}  
}  
}  
}  
},  
"aliases": {  
"1005": {}  
}  
}

and below is the index field mapping request

{  
"document": {  
"date\_detection": true,  
"numeric\_detection": true,  
"dynamic\_templates": [  
{  
"multi": {  
"match": "multi\__",  
"mapping": {  
"type": "multi\_field",  
"fields": {  
"{name}": {  
"index": "analyzed",  
"type": "{dynamic\_type}"  
},  
"{name}\_raw": {  
"index": "not\_analyzed",  
"type": "{dynamic\_type}"  
}  
}  
}  
}  
},  
{  
"number": {  
"match": "n0_",  
"mapping": {  
"index": "analyzed",  
"type": "{dynamic\_type}"  
}  
}  
}  
]  
}  
}
