Python: Whoosh Seems To Return Incorrect Results

This code is straight from Whoosh's quickstart docs: import os.path from whoosh.index import create_in from whoosh.fields import Schema, STORED, ID, KEYWORD, TEXT from whoosh.index

Solution 1:

A stop word filter is applied by the default text analyzer: https://bitbucket.org/mchaput/whoosh/src/999cd5fb0d110ca955fab8377d358e98ba426527/src/whoosh/analysis/filters.py?at=default#cl-41
