Oh, here comes
yet another bit of jargon – the “Stop Words.”
This is a list of words that computer is instructed to ignore as it
builds the inverted file. It’s as if
the words don’t even exist. Note that
DIALOG’s list is very short – shorter than many hosts of databases. They even index the word “a” – remember
that phrases like “type A” or “grade A” can often be found. DIALOG and some other database hosts feel
that it’s important for their users to easily find them.
