 Replying to [comment:7 toscho]:
 > A filter for removed search terms would be useful. This could go into
 the PHP language files, eg. `de_DE.php`.

 Ha, was thinking just that too :)

 Really want to remove "the" from the search terms as it doesn't make sense
 at all. A filter that returns an array with common words for exclusion
 makes sense. Then it can either be used directly by the localization
 file(s) or can pass a CSV list of words to `__()` so each translation can
 set them.

 > Oh, and please `mb_strlen()`, not `strlen()`. :)

 Using `strlen()` is a "trick" to not exclude high UTF-8 chars. In some
 languages a word can be a single char, we won't want to exclude these. May
 need to look into this more.
