title: Elasticsearch Creating an Analyzer and Adding Stop Words
body: <p>I would like to create an analyzer and add a few stop words to Elasticsearch. I am having trouble finding documentation on doing so.</p>
  
  <p>Every tutorial I find (including on the elasticsearch website) simply says to configure the analyzer...  </p>
  
  <pre><code>PUT /my_index
  {
    "settings": {
      "analysis": {
        "analyzer": {
          "my_analyzer": { 
            "type": "standard", 
            "stopwords": [ "and", "the" ] 
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>... but I don't know how to actually get to the analyzer and pass in my own stop words, filters, etc. </p>
  
  <p>If you could help me out, or point me in the direction of some in depth documentation that would be awesome. </p>
