You can find a list of stop words to use here: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/fulltext-stopwords.html. I saved this list to a file and referenced it from the MySQL config file (e.g. ft_stopword_file='path/to/stopword_file.txt').

I removed "it" and "us" from the stopword list because they mean "Information Technology" and "United States" in my problem domain.

Unfortunately, every time you change the stopword list you have to restart MYSQL and rebuild the full-text index's.
