Search Stopwords (Stop Words)
The Search Stopwords feature allows you to provide stop words for keywords that will be checked for in your visitors searches and ignored when found.
This article describes how to use that feature and what affect it will have on your Store.
Introduction
The Search Stopwords feature allows you to provide stop words for keywords that will be checked for in your visitor's searches and ignored when found.
For example, using this feature, you can ensure that searches for "test" will never return any results in the search, even if it features in many of your products or contents data.
Stopwords and Fuzzy Search
In the stopwords settings in Aurora > Merchandising > Search > Search Settings > Stop Words you can select to either include stop words in the Fuzzy Search index. This changes the results when stop words are included in the search term in the following ways and it is up to site administrators to decide which behaviour is more desirable:
If stopwords are included in the Fuzzy Index, then search terms will have any stopwords removed. For example, given "and" is a configured Stopword, and a product made by "Pull and Bear", searches for "pullbear" would return the given product, however, a search for "pullandbear" would not.
Given the same scenario where stopwords are not included in the Fuzzy Index, the searches for "pullandbear" would return the given product, but a search for "pullbear" would not.
