Certain common words are excluded from searches in any of the keyword
indexes in Pathfinder, so it is unnecessary to type them in. The excluded
"stop words" are:
| a |
an |
and |
are |
as |
at |
be |
but |
by |
for |
| from |
had |
have |
her |
his |
in |
is |
it |
not |
of |
| on |
or |
that |
the |
this |
to |
was |
which |
with |
you |
If you wish to search using one of these stop words, you must generally
put quotation marks around it.
Example
You want to find the book Not a Free Show. Since not is a stop word, you will get the best results
in either a Title keyword or Title begins with... search if you use quotation
marks: "not" a free show
Because of the very large number of items involved, "english" is a stop word in the language index.
Thus if you want to limit to English language materials, use the limits
option instead of searching by language. For other languages you have the
option of either searching by language or of limiting to that language.
