# Clone a stop word dictionary

Create a copy of an existing stop word dictionary.

## Before you begin

Role required: ais\_admin

## About this task

Cloning a stop word dictionary copies the source dictionary's settings and all of its defined stop word terms. This process can save you time when you need multiple stop word dictionaries that have many stop word terms in common.

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to **All** > **AI Search** > **Search Query Settings** > **Dictionaries**.

2.  Expand the Stop Word record group if necessary and open the stop word dictionary that you want to clone.

3.  Select **Clone**.

4.  In the Set Dictionary Label dialog box, enter a label for the new stop word dictionary in the **Cloned dictionary label** field and select **OK**.


## Result

The new stop word dictionary form opens. All stop word terms defined in the source dictionary appear in the AI Search Dictionary Terms related list.
