Stoplists Are used to controll that certain words are not searched for in the index. Small words such as 'and', 'or' and 'but' are thereby excluded from the search in order to deliver more accurate results. The stoplists are often expandable (which means that one is able to add words to the list). Thesaurus Contains words that has the same or similar meaning. A boat, for example, are group together with a number of realted words in a thesaurus such as: ark, barge, bark, bateau, bottom, bucket, canoe, catamaran, craft, dinghy, dory, gondola, hulk, ketch, launch, lifeboat, pinnace, raft, sailboat, schooner, scow, ship, skiff, sloop, steamboat, tub, yacht. A thesaurus has a broader meaning than synomyms. Somewhat simplified: If you know the word and want the meaning, you look up a dictionary (as synonym). If you know the meaning and want the word, you look it up a thesaurus. Hi Zedd,

Thanks!

Perhaps "stoplist" and "thesaurus" are two other candidates that may need clarification? Thanks for the post, interesting to see that there is a difference between query completion and auto complete.
