Stopwords
Not
all words are included in indexes. Articles for example are used so
often that it would be useless to index them. Words which are omitted
from indexes are called stopwords. The stopwords are listed below. There is no distinction between capital and lower case
letters. You therefore should not use these words as search
terms, except for when you have opted for phrase
searching.
The
Boolean operators or - of - ou, and - en - et, not -
niet - pas and the proximity operator near - nabij - pres are always stopwords.
The
table below lists stopwords for the common languages English, Dutch,
French and German. In the first column are stopwords which apply for all
languages.
