Words to exclude from a search

Question

I am looking for a list of words that I can use as exclusions from a product search, as they will give to many false positives.

This would include things like 'a', 'with', 'and', 'the' and so forth. Does anyone have or know where I could download a list of these types of words? The list would only need to be in English (British if possible).

Thanks in advance

What you are looking for is called stopword list. They are available for different languages for example at https://github.com/Alir3z4/stop-words

Brilliant didn't know the word to search for to get results (ironically) so thanks for telling me what to search for next time – Gerena
