Hi everyone, I get it why and when if stopwords are note indexed is a bad idea and can give you 0 or incomplete results. But what about the quality of search result when stopwords are indexed vs. not indexed?
1) Stopwords are removed and I do word search, not phrase for "solr and lucene are so cool". 2) Stopwords are not removed and I do word search, not phrase for "solr and lucene are so cool". Now if "and", "are" and "or" are stopwords, will the search quality and ranking for #1 be better then #2? What about if I turn the above into a phrase search?
