Topic: Italian language

I am making an italian language file but I didn't understood what the xx_stopword.txt file is, can someone please tell me?

thank you in advance

Re: Italian language

The stopwords file contains words that are "too common" and shouldn't be indexed in the search engine. Words that don't actually mean anything, but help us humans communicate. Classic examples of stopwords in english are "the", "was" and "that". Try googling for "the car" and you will get a message stating:

"the" is a very common word and was not included in your search.

I don't speak italian, but a few examples of italian stopwords are "era", "che", "vostro". Does that make any sense?

Edit: Only words that are three characters or longer need to be in the stopwords list. Shorter words are not indexed at all.
