Your usual list...

[sroughley]

Hello all.

I am quite tired and am currently slogging it out trying to polish off an alomst complete system. I just need a list of the common words that are not necessary in a search. For example I have the following list:

            $badWords[] = "a";
            $badWords[] = "and";
            $badWords[] = "at";
            $badWords[] = "is";
            $badWords[] = "it";
            $badWords[] = "it's";
            $badWords[] = "its";
            $badWords[] = "that";
            $badWords[] = "the";
            $badWords[] = "them";
            $badWords[] = "they";
            $badWords[] = "this";
            $badWords[] = "those";

I know there isn't much there, and I know that there are many lists available on the internet that I could find to cover these words, but I am too tired to do either of these tasks.

Please help. I need SPLEEP!

Steve.
