Words to exclude from a search

I am looking for a list of words that I can use as exclusions from a product search, as they will give to many false positives.

This would include things like 'a', 'with', 'and', 'the' and so forth. Does anyone have or know where I could download a list of these types of words? The list would only need to be in English (British if possible).

Thanks in advance
