title: How to add stopwords to the default list in ElasticSearch
body: <p>I want to add more words to the default "<em>english</em>" stopwards, e.g., "inc", "incorporated", "ltd" and "limited". How can I achieve this?</p>
  
  <p>My current code to create an index is as follows. Thanks.</p>
  
  <pre><code>PUT /my_index
  {
    "settings": {
      "analysis": {
        "filter": {
          "my_stop": {
            "type": "stop",
            "stopwords": "_english_"
          }
        },
        "analyzer": {
          "my_analyzer": {
            "tokenizer": "whitespace",
             "char_filter": [
              "html_strip"
            ],
            "filter": [ 
              "lowercase",
              "asciifolding",
              "my_stop"
            ]
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>My test code</p>
  
  <pre><code>POST my_index/_analyze
  {
    "analyzer": "my_analyzer",
    "text": "House of Dickson&lt;br&gt; corp"
  }
  </code></pre>
