Remove Words
Use a Remove Words query rewrite to remove particular phrases from queries. Unlike other rewrites, Remove Words rules are entered manually and aren’t generated by a job.
You can create a Remove Words query rewrite to remove words from a query. This query rewrite is helpful when a word in the search query does not add value to the search results.
For example, you can rewrite a search query for case study examples to remove examples and then display results for case study.

From the list of query rewrite options, select Remove Words. A form appears:
-
This form contains the following fields:
| Parameter | Description | Example Value |
|---|---|---|
Phrase to remove |
The words to remove from the trigger phrase. |
|
Trigger phrases |
The query that prompts the removal of the phrase. The trigger phrase is not necessarily a complete query. If the query contains the trigger phrase, then Fusion removes the phrase in the Phrase to Remove field. |
|
-
Enter a phrase to remove and a trigger phrase. Note that the phrase to remove is auto-populated with the query.
-
Click Save.
The search is re-run, and a Search box information panel drops down to show that the new query rewrite has fired:
