Associate a word or string index with a reference list

Use this procedure to associate the list of words or strings that you created earlier with a specific index.

For example, if you created a reference list of stop words, you can associate them selected indexes so they will not appear in search results.

To associate a word index with a reference list:

Open the Index Definition document.

Locate the word or string index with which you want to associate the reference list.

<index NAME="FullText">
   <wordindex>
      <elements>
         <element XPATH="//hedline" DEPTH="INFINITE"></element>
         <element XPATH="//media-caption" DEPTH="INFINITE"></element>
         <element XPATH="//block/p" DEPTH="INFINITE"></element>
      </elements>
   </wordindex>

Under the <wordindex> or <stringindex> element, add a <wordindexproperties> or <stringindexproperties> element.
Do one of the following:
- To associate the index with a stop words list, create an <unindexablewords> or <unindexablestrings> element, as shown below:
- To associate the index with a list of specific search words, create an <indexablewords> or <indexablestrings> element.
```
<index NAME="FullText">
   <wordindex>
      <wordindexproperties>
         <unindexablewords NAME="FullTextStopWordList"/>
      </wordindexproperties>
      <elements>
         <element XPATH="//hedline" DEPTH="INFINITE"></element>
         <element XPATH="//media-caption" DEPTH="INFINITE"></element>
         <element XPATH="//block/p" DEPTH="INFINITE"></element>
      </elements>
   </wordindex>
```
Note: In the example above, the NAME attribute references a stop word list created earlier. (See Create a reference list.)
