    99Stopwords are an integral part of all searching. Using them not only produces better results, it also improves performance, quite a bit in some cases. There's no point in using search terms that will match all table rows, and using them several times makes it slower.

    11 For example, currently searching for "about the about" will select all table rows three times and make the results irrelevant. With stopwords it will only search for the whole string making it (much) faster and relevant.
