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.
