Sure - and I guess a lot of people like it this way. To me it means I cannot scroll down the list of books to find what I want. In the case you give, I would look at the 'The World...' section of the list, and not find it there. I would never think to simply ignore the noise words - that is not how I (or I suggest, most people) think.

I am a software developer myself, so I do understand a lot about GUI design and all that stuff. Personally, if I included a feature like this, I would give the user the option to turn it off if so desired.

Please don't take my comments as being negative - I think Calibre is very useful and a job well done.
