Stop words

In computing, stop words are words which are filtered out before or after processing of natural language text. For some search engines, these are some of the most common, short function words, such as the, is, at, which, and on.

A predecessor concept was used in creating some concordances. For example, the first Hebrew concordance contained a one-page list of unindexed words
