You cannot search for noise words. For proximity (NEAR) and exact-phrase searches, noise words are treated as placeholders. Searching for "give me liberty" would also find "give her liberty" and any similar phrase with a noise word in the middle.
If you search for a name with a middle initial and you omit the period, you never need to worry about having the correct middle initial, because all single letters are represented by the placeholder. (This trick doesn't work if you use a period after the initial.)
Do not use commas in your query. A comma signals a weighted search. Some other marks are usually ignored: period, colon and semi-colon.
If your search contains only noise words, the following error message appears: "The query contained only ignored words."
