Searching For Excluded Words
Tuesday, July 15th, 2008Use the minus sign (-) before a word or the word NOT to require that it not be found in the search results. For example, giants -baseball (include a space between the first word and the - symbol) or giants NOT baseball lists sites containing “giants” but not “baseball.” Some engines like AND NOT (two words) or ANDNOT (one word) better than just NOT.
