    I was trying to simplify this without success:
    $neglect = array(':',';',',','.','?','shall','shalt');
$replace = "";
//$mystring = 'qwertyu';

$searchThese = $_GET['searchthese'];
//$searchThese = $searchThese;
$searchThese=str_replace(":", "", $searchThese);
$searchThese=str_replace(";", "", $searchThese);
$searchThese=str_replace(",", "", $searchThese);
$searchThese=str_replace(".", "", $searchThese);
$searchThese=str_replace("?", "", $searchThese);
$searchThese=str_replace("(", "", $searchThese);
$searchThese=str_replace(")", "", $searchThese);
//common words
$searchThese=str_replace("shall", "", $searchThese);
$searchThese=str_replace("shalt", "", $searchThese);
$searchThese=str_replace("which", "", $searchThese);
$searchThese=str_replace("there", "", $searchThese);
$searchThese=str_replace("their", "", $searchThese);
    PHP:
