Keyword Discovery - FAQ

Does Keyword discovery use a stop words list to filter out common terms?

Yes, we do use a stopwords list to filter out searches with common terms.

Stop words are in so many different search phrases that it simply takes far too long to get the results, which can cause time out errors to occur. It is simply a necessity to exlude stop words in order to return results in a timely fashion.

We do display the stop words in the results themselves (we don't alter the results in any way), however its just not possible to search using stop words.

The stopword list:
