Overview
Stop words is a list of words that will be excluded from the search. This gives you the ability to exclude most common words from search. There is no need to search for words like to, a, but and so on. So you can just exclude them from search. And search plugin will help you with this.
Example: User type search query T-shirts and Hoodies. In this case he will see all products with the words T-shirt or Hoodie. But word and will be ignored otherwise search results will be messed with not relevant products that only have this very common word.
