We can return an extra column in our search query which can allow us to tell if the term consisted of only stop words which isn’t very hard to do. I’ll have to dig deeper to figure out where to inject that extra column though but the end goal here for us should be to avoid an extra DB query just to figure out if a term is all stop words or not.
