Stopwords are common words such as “I,” “a,” “an,” “the,” and so on, that are ignored during the indexing or querying process. Removing the most common words during the indexing process keeps index sizes smaller, which enhances query performance.
Adding
a stopword
Click Configuration.
Click Stopwords.
Click Add Stopword.
Enter your terms in the Stopwords field.
Click Add if you have multiple entries for a stopword, else proceed to step 6.
Click Save.
The new stopwords affect only new documents. Previously
indexed documents are not affected by new stopwords terms.

file available at the following location:
install_location\OmniQ\data\config\locale\Stopwords_en.104.xml.
Click OK.

from XML
From the Metadata Configuration page, click Stopwords.
