Stop words

Stop words are small common words that are not indexed in the InfoTrac database. Even if these words are included in your search, InfoTrac will disregard them. 

Stop words include "a", "and", "etc", "in", "of", "on", "to" and "the".

If you wish to search for information about the family in the welfare state, you only need to use the search words "family", "welfare" and "state".
