Google History
The short stopwords list below is based on what we believed to be Google stopwords a decade ago, based on words that were ignored if you would search for them in combination with another word. (ie. as in the phrase "a keyword"). Last time we checked using stopwords in searchterms did matter, results will be different.
We do believe stopwords (and other non-relevant text parts such as navigation menus) are filtered out of the text by Google and other search engines to help determine what a page is about.
