If stop words are configured, XFES doesn't warn the user that those stop words are excluded from search.

This is a different behaviour than default MySQL fulltext search which does warn the user if a stop word from the hardcoded stopword list is included in the query.

This can confuse & frustrate users, espacially in the edge of no results being returned at all (which happens if all search terms are stop words).

At least if custom stop words are configured, XFES should warn the user...
