List of common words to ignore in full text searches

[fischermx]

Hi,

I'm looking for the list of words that search engine usually ignore like "of", "the", "a", etc, etc.
If I can't find that list I'd like to know where to find :

Articles, prepositions, and conjunctions
Most common english verbs
Very common adjectives
Adverbs like therefore, however, thus, etc.

These words are often refered to as "stop words", I'm not aware of any comprehensive lists, certainly we had to create our own.
