Suggestion: Stop words for languages

[devrck]

Hi guys,

I know that Meilisearch starts from scratch :smile: but maybe it's useful to have on the docs page some standard stop words for each language that it supports.

What do you guys think?

Sorry if i opened the issue in this project, please move it to the correct one if needed.

Hello @devrck! If I understand well, you would need a documentation page with stop-words lists according to different languages. It could be interesting, but that's indeed not posted in the right repo 😉

I'm going to ask a Meili team member who has the permission to move your issue in the documentation repo!

Although I can definitely see why it is useful to have a list of common stopwords for supported languages, are we the best people to host such a list? Do we want that responsibility?

According to our docs we support pretty much any white-space separated language (which includes but is not limited to pretty much every language written in the latin alphabet) and Chinese. That's a pretty daunting list, and one I'm not sure the @meilisearch/docs-team has the proper skillset to create.
