Google Stop Word Changes

Google now automatically searches for stop words when they are in phrases, without requiring the + sign in front of the stop words. Google has added and will be adding more stop words in non-English languages (Chinese now and German next week). This bears watching as articles in one language may have a different meaning in another, such as the German 'die.' This automatic stop word searching means that only the unsearchable stop word 'the' can be used for the full word wild card within phrases. Google also now has a "help us improve" link at the bottom of the results page where searchers can tell Google why they didn't like the results. Google Review updated.
