Overview
You can manage words to exclude from stemming processing. Since stemming processing is fundamentally rule-based, unintended normalization may occur. For example, the word “Maine” (the name of a U.S. state) would be normalized to “main”.
To keep this word searchable as it is, register maine (write the word in lowercase; see “Configuration Items” for details).
The list shows one dictionary per language (en/protwords.txt, de/protwords.txt and so on). Choose and edit the dictionary that matches the language of the word. See Dictionary for which dictionary applies to which field. Saving a change is not enough for it to take effect in searches. See Applying Dictionary Changes for how to apply it.

Word Information
Enters words to exclude from stemming processing.
Enter words in lowercase. The analysis converts a word to lowercase before it checks the word against this dictionary, so entering Maine does not protect it. In the example in the overview, enter maine.

Warning
