Are you sure of the behaviour ?
I tried (in french) with "la" (= "the" in english). I get only titles 
having a word BEGINNING by LE. example : "la lattitude et la longitude". 
The title had not been taken because of La, but because of Lattitude.
It's a recent improvment : when searching "contains", you search 
"contains a word beginning by". I don't remembre who asked for this. 
Maybe it was NPL :-)
