 Stop Words 
 In	search	parlance,	a	“stopword”	is	a	word	that’s	so	common	that	adding	it	to	a	query	rarely	
 increases the quality of results, and frequently decreases it. For example, if you did a search for 
 “the	City	of	Chicago”,	“Chicago”	would	certainly	provide	good	results.	“City”	might	as	well.	But	
 how	many	billions	of	documents	that	have	nothing	to	do	with	Chicago	contain	the	words	“the”	
 and	“of”?	
 Fortunately, LucidWorks Search understands the concepts of stopwords, and in most cases, 
 will eliminate them from your query. It also understands how to handle stop words on the back 
 end so that they help improve relevance (for example, by judging the proximity of two words) 
 rather than hinder it. 
 LucidWorks Search starts	with	a	list	of	several	dozen	stop	words,	such	as	“a”,	“and”,	“for”,	and	
 so on. You may find, however, that you need to add your own. To do that, click the Querying 
 menu item, and then the Stop Words menu item. As with synonyms, you can use this interface 
 to add, edit, or delete stopwords.
