For example, so many documents in English contain "the", "if", and "maybe" that it may improve both performance and relevance to block them. # before @token_texts = ('i', 'am', 'the', 'walrus'); # after @token_texts = ('', '', '', 'walrus'); =head1 CONSTRUCTOR =head2 new my $stopalizer = KinoSearch::Analysis::Stopalizer->new( language => 'de', ); # or... my $stopalizer = KinoSearch::Analysis::Stopalizer->new( stoplist => \%stoplist, ); new() takes two possible parameters, C and C. If C is supplied, it will be used, overriding the behavior indicated by the value of C. =over =item B - must be a hashref, with stopwords as the keys of the hash and values set to 1. =item B - must be the ISO code for a language.
