Stop words are words you don't want to see.
If you don't want to see a word, do this:

Example:
You want to search for a new car.
You don't want to see the word BMW.
So write:

• car new -bmw

Put a minus sign in front of the word.
It will no longer appear in the search results.

The multi-word search has 2 types.

One word should be present in the results.
Then write it in quotation marks.
It looks like this:

• Example:
  You are searching for the round table.
  You want to find the word round in the results.
  So write the word like this:
• the "round" table

There is another type of multi-word search.
You can also search for complete sentences.
You want to see a sentence exactly as written in the results.
Then do it like this:

• Example:
  You are searching for the round table.
  You want to see it in exactly that order.
  Write it like this:
• "the round table"

qwant.us supports a writing style called '!bang syntax'.
If you want to use it, it looks like this:
!twitter or !facebook
Example:
You want to search for cats on Twitter.
So enter it like this:

!twitter cat

This will display a field on the right side while searching.
It looks like this:

You can click the blue button.
Then the web page of Twitter with the search for cats will open.
This feature does not work on small screens like mobile phones.
