sorry I should had said it was when you had match all words selected

heres what i find using perlfect search on my site:

"The passing of aphrodite" 0 matches

"the passing of aphrodite" 16 matches

with match any words i get 178 in both cases

If i add "The" to the stopwords file and then do a search

"The passing of aphrodite" with match all words I get 16 results.

Ergo Perlfect search stopwords are case sensitive when "match all words" is 
selected and not when "match any word" is selected.
