Please remove "about" from the stop words list

Following up on this post: Are specific terms ignored from searches?

I recently ran into this problem when a moderator was trying to find the “About” post in a specific category. They had unpinned the post. Searching for just the word “about” gave no results, but searching for “about the x category” gave the exact post.

This seems like such a simple thing to fix and such an obvious problem. How many Discourse categories must there exist in the world that have an “About” post and they are all unsearchable.

Thanks for the link. I know it is included. I’m saying that it should not be.

Obviously there is a reason why a list like this exists. My point is that a generic list is unhelpful in our situation.

Is there no way to override the default list?
