1. You might search for what is called 'stopwords' (non interesting  
words) using any Internet search engine.
2. Have a look also at what is called 'stemming': http:// 
www.comp.lancs.ac.uk/computing/research/stemming/general/ that allow  
to reduce different words to the same form.
3. I have put on RevOnline an English, French, Italian, Spanish,  
German and Portuguese stemmer library (username: sosmartsoftware)  
that could help you too.

Best regards from Paris,
Eric Chatonet.
