Yes, this is correct. Google does not use all the words in your query to display search results - at least not all the time.

There does not seem to be a list for all the words that are in a query but which Google might not consider when displaying search results; likely they are articles (a, an, the), prepositions (of, on, in) and - possibly, and depending on the context - frequent verbs like be, is, are, go, was, went.

Google lists its policy on this site under Exceptions, though:
