Elastic Path Stopword Sets API is one of 100 APIs that [Elastic Path](https://apis.io/providers/elastic-path/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network, described by a machine-readable OpenAPI specification. Tagged areas include Stopword Sets. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes an OpenAPI specification and API documentation.

Stopword Sets allow you to define sets of common words (such as "the", "a", "an", "is") that should be ignored during search queries. By removing these low-value terms from search processing, you can improve search relevance and reduce noise in results. ### How Stopword Sets Work A stopword set is a named container of stopword words. Each set belongs to an organization or store and is synced asynchronously. Once synced, the stopwords are applied during search query processing to filter out the specified terms. ### Common Stopwords Stopword sets contain a flat list of words to ignore: - **Common articles**: "the", "a", "an" - **Prepositions**: "in", "on", "at", "for" - **Conjunctions**: "and", "or", "but" ### Sync Status Stopword sets are synced asynchronously. The sync status is tracked and exposed in API responses: | Status | Description | |------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------| | `pending_sync` | Set has been created or updated in MongoDB but not yet synced | | `synced` | Set has been successfully synced | | `sync_failed` | The last sync attempt failed | | `pending_delete` | Set is marked for deletion; a background worker will remove it | ### Tenancy Stopword sets follow the same tenancy model as other resources: - **Organization-scoped sets**: Managed by the organization; apply across all stores - **Store-scoped sets**: Managed by the store; apply only to that store Stores cannot modify organization-scoped stopword sets.
