Hi Gupta, Thanx a lot for your reply. But I could not understand whether I could modify (adding more words) to the default stop word list or should I have to make a new list as an array as follows. public string[] NEW_STOP_WORDS = { "a", "and", "are", "as", "at", "be", "but", "by", "for", "if", "in", "into", "is", "no", "not", "of", "on", "or",
"s", "such", "t", "that", "the", "their", "then", "there", "these", "they", "this", "to", "was", "will", "with", "inc","incorporated","co.","ltd","ltd.", "we", "you", "your", "us", etc...}; then call it as follows, SnowballAnalyzer analyzer = *new* SnowballAnalyzer("English", StopAnalyzer.NEW_STOP_WORDS ); Am I correct? Or if not could you explain me how can I do this? Thanx in advance. Manjula.
