    I'm writing a simple search engine for my website in a SQL Procedure.

    I want the search procedure to skip common words such as 'I', 'the', 'is', 'or', etc...

    Does anyone have (and want to share) a list of common words that I should be ignoring in my search procedure?

    Or, does anyone have a URL to a list of common words that I should ignore in my search procedure?

    Thanks

    Do a search for "stop words"
