Question

Does WorldCat search ignores stop words?

Answer

No. Stop words are being searched as well in a WorldCat search (via the WorldCat adaptor). Different results are retrieved for search terms with or without stop words. For example, a search for "Life" will retrieve more results than a search for "The Life".

Additional Information

This is WorldCat search behavior and can't be controlled from Primo.
