Stop words

Commonly used words that are excluded from searches to help index and search web pages faster. Some examples of stop words are "a", "and", "but", "how", "or", and "what". While the majority of all Internet search engines utilize stop words, they do not prevent a user from using these words. When stop words are used, it is common that the search engine will ignore them.
