Regenerate a freetext index (onsite)
When you add or delete new stopwords, your changes do not have a retroactive effect. This means that if you enter and as a stopword and already have many occurrences of and in the database, they will not be automatically removed from the freetext index. The change applies only to occurrences of and that you add from then on. In some cases it may be appropriate to update the freetext index, so that all stopwords are removed from it.
