Also, just for future reference, please separate out questions so that
they can be addressed separately, and more easily found by others in

Stopwords are commonly occurring words that don't add _much_ value to
search, such as the, an, a and are usually removed during analysis.
Protwords (protected words) are words that would be stemmed by the
English
porter stemmer that you do not want to be stemmed.
In the end, removing stopwords may keep your index smaller and can
keep
some queries from taking a long time, but they also mean you can't
query for
those words. As for protwords, that is something you would do if
you felt
the results for those tokens was "off".
Many people use stopwords, many don't. Personally, I don't think
removing
them is the right thing to do, as there isn't always a way to
recover them
and they do provide meaning, otherwise why would they be needed in
the
language? Often, the best thing to do, is keep stopwords, but
handle them
intelligently on the query side (in phrases, etc.). However, since
you're a
beginner, it probably makes sense to just throw out stopwords for
now.
