Overview

Stop words are a pool of words that do not help in the ranking of results and therefore should be excluded. Ex. at, to, and, for, and so on. Prepositions and conjunctions are instances of commonly used functional words and phrases. Removing them from the search query will enhance indexing. For example: Shoes for women could simply search for ‘women shoes’ and remove the extra word ‘for’ while searching. This improves the search engine’s efficiency.
