Hi Michael, I actually found that the 'simple' dictionary doesn't enforce a stopword list by default. so i defined my search conf like this and it works: create text search configuration sbsimple ( parser = 'default' ) ; alter text search configuration sbsimple ALTER MAPPING FOR word,hword,asciiword,asciihword WITH simple Cheers!
