Stopwords


Stopwords are defined as common words that do not add much to a search index of full text, as they are considered insignificant. Examples include "a", "an", "the", "is".

These stopwords are stripped from our searches, so any searches that include them may not get the exact results you expect. You can view the full list of stopwords our searches use below.

Due to technical limitations, we do not have the ability to modify the list of stopwords.
