Hmm. Interesting. Any ideas for a good source of "noise" words, or do I just fake it?

    Search engines do this.
    It was either htdig or swift-e that had a file that contained such "noise words". Just use that. (I think swift-e had them in it's source code).

    You can find links to them here:

    On another note, the source is available for alot of the search engines on the page. Code examples for things like fuzzy search and context searching might be available.
