A stopword is a commonly used word that is included in a stoplist. The stopwords in a stoplist are omitted from full-text indexing for tables that use the stoplist. For more information, see [Configure and Manage Stopwords and Stoplists for Full-Text Search](../relational-databases/search/full-text-search.md). **To use SQL Server Management Studio to change stoplist properties** - [Configure and Manage Stopwords and Stoplists for Full-Text Search](../relational-databases/search/full-text-search.md) ## Options **Action** Specifies the action that you want to perform. **Add stopword** Add a commonly used word to the stoplist. **Delete stopword** Delete a stopword from the stoplist. **Delete all stopwords** Delete all the stopwords for a specific language. **Clear stoplist** Clear the stoplist by deleting all the stopwords for all languages. **Stopword** If you selected **Add stopword** or **Delete stopword**, enter the stopword in the **Stopword** field. A new stopword must be unique; that is, not yet in this stoplist for the language that you select. **Full-text language** If you selected **Add stopword**, **Delete stopword**, or **Delete all stopwords**, select the language of the stopword or stopwords from the list box. This lists all the full-text languages that are supported by the server instance. ## See Also [sys.fulltext_stopwords (Transact-SQL)](/sql/relational-databases/system-catalog-views/sys-fulltext-stopwords-transact-sql) [sys.fulltext_stoplists (Transact-SQL)](/sql/relational-databases/system-catalog-views/sys-fulltext-stoplists-transact-sql) [Configure and Manage Stopwords and Stoplists for Full-Text Search](../relational-databases/search/full-text-search.md) [ALTER FULLTEXT STOPLIST (Transact-SQL)](/sql/t-sql/statements/alter-fulltext-stoplist-transact-sql) [CREATE FULLTEXT STOPLIST (Transact-SQL)](/sql/t-sql/statements/create-fulltext-stoplist-transact-sql) [DROP FULLTEXT STOPLIST (Transact-SQL)](/sql/t-sql/statements/drop-fulltext-stoplist-transact-sql)
