# stopwords ?

 * Hello,
    as my previous question is definitively closed, here comes a new one 
   🙂
 * It’s a suggestion: giving the opportunity to add stopwords to the analysis of
   related posts. My site is about illustration so “illustration” “illustre” and
   these kind of terms are not very useful for related posts… but the plugin take
   them in count.
    If I make a post about an illustrator from the USA, I would like
   to see related other posts about “USA” and not “illustrator” (as majoritiy of
   the posts are about illustrators).

 * Li-An, I’ll add a filter to the next version of the plugin on what exactly is
   compared. You could use that to write your function to exclude / replace out 
   any of the stop words as you suggest above.
 * `$stuff` on line 385 holds the content that is matched. You would be able to 
   do a `str_replace` on this to exclude out the stop words.
 * Something like:
 *     ```
       $stopwords = array("illustrate", "illustration");
       $stuff = str_replace($stuff, "", $stuff);
       ```

 * Thanks for the news. I will wait for next version, it’s not urgent for me.
