Stopword

Stopword

A word which is omitted from the index of a database. Stopwords are very common words (a, a, the, to, for, etc. ) that normally add little meaning to the subject content of the document being indexed. Since stopwords are not indexed, they cannot be used as search terms, but will appear when you print documents from the database.
