Thanks for the tip,

but I can't imagine the number of documents google has to join in order process such results...
There must be a trick.
Maybe stopwords are not indexed alone but twice with previous and next token, some sort of 2-gram index?

Your query includeds apostrophes which tells google to include common words in the query. But, if you remove the apostrophes, you will still get results, as google states:

"Google ignores stop words when they're placed in searches alongside less common words. For example, a search for [ The Sound and the Fury ] will only return results for the terms "Sound" and "Fury." However, a search that only includes stop words -- [ The Who ], for example -- will be processed as is."

The key here is "when they're placed in searches alongside less common words".

Hope that answers your questions.

Hi,

Look at this google query : http://www.google.fr/search?q=%22HOW+at+at+of+a+A+a%22

What do you think about that concerning stop words?
Google has no stop words?
