USE OF STOP WORDS:

Note on the use of stopwords: Because the search engine does not recognize stopwords, your search term must be enclosed in quotes OR you can drop the stopword from the title or phrase. For example, when searching for a title con- taining the word “to”:

(1)Enclose the phrase in quotation marks. The search will work on the exact phrase (example: “2001: a space odyssey”).

(2)Omit the words “the” and “of” from the search (exam- ple: for a search for “The Hammer of God” enter hammer God).

Stopwords include the following: an, and, aspects, but, co, corp, etc, for, from, if, in, inc, into, is, it, its, jr, ltd, of, on, or, that, the, to, with.
