Stopwords

Stopwords are words that are ignored during searching and indexing. Stopwords are usually extremely common words, such as "the" in English. Searching for such words isn't useful, because they occur so frequently.

The current stopwords (as of 2008-06-26) for the NSDL Search Service are as follows:
