Best way to filter out noise words from user entered search string

Hi there,
I'm implemeting a full text search on my company's site and am trying to get
around the 'Query contained only noise words' error. What's the best way of
stripping the text from the search string and then notifying the user that
the words were removed? (kind of like a google search). Is there a way to
compare the search string with the noise word file and remove all instances
of matching words?
Thanks!

The best way to do this is to stop mssearch, replace the contents of your
noise word list with a single space and then restart MSSearch and rebuild
your catalog.
