Learn Proper Syntax or English Grammar is important?
Most search engines simply ignore certain words. They are never used to find a matching document. These are called "stop words" because the search engine ignores these words even when they're found in its index. Why? Because most stop words are too common to generate meaningful results. Or the words are parts of speech like:
- adverbs
- conjunctions
- prepositions
- or forms of "be"
- that mean nothing unless they're part of a phrase with more "important" nouns and verbs.
