This query allows handling `stopwords` dynamically at runtime, is domain independent and doesn't require on a stopword file. It prevent scoring / -iterating high frequent terms and only takes the terms into account if a -more significant / lower frequent terms match a document. Yet, if all of +iterating high frequency terms and only takes the terms into account if a +more significant / lower frequency terms match a document. Yet, if all of the query terms are above the given `cutoff_frequency` the query is automatically transformed into a pure conjunction (`and`) query to ensure fast execution.
