About Stopwords
Certain frequently used words such as articles (a, an,
the), prepositions (of, in, for, through), and pronouns (it, their, his) are not
searchable in the Title field. These stopwords
may be entered as part of a phrase, but they are not searched. For example, the
phrase "men versus women" returns records that include the words
men and women, but versus is ignored because it is a stopword.
