Agreed, leave the stopwords alone. I ran into this same problem
thirteen years ago at Netflix. Even before that, I wasn’t removing
stopwords, but I accidentally left them in the Solr 1.3 config.

1> why use stopwords at all? They’re largely a holdover from the
bad old days when memory was limited. I usually recommend
people just start by not using stopwords at all.
2> assuming <1> doesn’t work for you, why doesn’t it look feasible
to remove here from the stopword list? True
