stop word

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.03 sec.

stop word

A common word such as "the," "of," "on," and "a." Stop words are not indexed, and when used in a query, are also ignored. However, different search engines do not use the same stop words, so the same query at one search site may yield different results than at another.
