Stopwords are common, frequently used words such as articles (a, an, the),
prepositions (of, in, for, through), and pronouns (it, their, his) that cannot
be searched as individual words in the Topic and Title fields. If you include
a stopword in a phrase, the stopword is interpreted as a word placeholder.

Examples
pH of soil finds every record that contains pH
and soil anywhere in a Topic field. For example:
pH of soil;
pH and soil;
pH alluvial soil;
soil pH;
and so on.
The system ignores the word "of" because it
is a stopword.
vitamin A finds every record that contains the
word vitamin in a Topic field. The letter "A" is ignored.
Publication Name Searches
In a search by Publication Name, stopwords are recognized
as words, and therefore, may be used in a search query.
