Note: Even though this reference, and Google itself, as well as most other search engines say to omit small words like "of", "a", etcetera, they can make a difference in your results, as you can tell in these examples:

• »www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=U···&spell=1
  
• »www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&···e+Search
  

Word order can also make a difference, as you can see by comparing these searches:

• »www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&···e+Search
  
• »www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&···e+Search
