Description

Searching for something like “persons living in house count” gives an unexpectedly large number of results. This is because results for word "in" are included. Common words (prepositions, conjunctions) like "and", "the", "in", "of" should be excluded from the search.

Research direction

Start by tracing the WDK model and report-generation path described in the repository, then inspect how generated JSON is prepared for Solr indexing. Confirm where search terms are handled and test a query such as “persons living in house count.” Done means common words such as “and,” “the,” “in,” and “of” no longer contribute matching results.
