# Index Stop Words

The Content component does not normally index stop words, but you can index them by using the `StopWordIndex` configuration parameter in the `[LanguageTypes]` section of the configuration file. For example:

    [LanguageTypes]
    StopwordIndex=1

Queries match stop words only in a phrase, as shown in the following examples.

Query | Result
--- | ---
`winnie the bear` | Content ignores the stop word the, as usual.
`"winnie the bear"` | Content includes the stop word the in the exact phrase search and matches it.
`copy of "winnie the bear"` | Content ignores the stop word of, but matches the within the phrase.

NOTE: Wildcard search terms do not expand to stop words, even in phrases.
