eklem··on Stopword removal for 54 languages in Node.js and the browser
It's good for minimizing search indexes and query response. The size gets smaller when you don't index all those words that exists in all documents and mean nothing. And query/result response gets shorter when it doesn't have to calculate relevancy between a too large result set.

I also see a lot of people use it for chat bots and machine learning.

Yes, short notice. Not sure how it was with the paying customers.

eklem··on Search: better user experience with one line of JavaScript
Thanks. That's a good point. So, one more reason not to do this on the home page or any other regular page, just the search result page.
