This appendix contains the more than 500
stopwords referred to in the section “Using a FULLTEXT
index” in Chapter 8. Stopwords are words that
are considered so common as to not be worth searching for, or storing, in a
FULLTEXT index. Theoretically, ignoring
these words makes little difference to the results of most FULLTEXT searches, but makes MySQL databases
considerably smaller and more efficient. The words are shown here in
lowercase but apply to uppercase and mixed-case versions, too:
