Excluding Words From Google Search Results
16 Answers
Can anyone remember how to exclude words from Google search results?
There's something you can type into your search.
Say, for example, I don't want any results containing the words "Amazon" or "eBay" or "United States"

put the minus sign before the words you want excluded...
So searching 'fluffy pussy cat ebay' would find anything with all those words....
Searching for 'fluffy pussy cat -ebay' would find anything with fluffy pussy cat that doesn't contain ebay.
The minus sign needs to have a space before it but no space after it.

Simply put a minus sign in front of the word you don't want. If it's a string of words (such as 'United states') put the string between double quotation marks and put the minus sign in front of the string. (Without the minus sign quotation marks force the inclusion of a term.
Example 1:
joggerjayne brighton
will find pages with either 'joggerjayne' or 'brighton' in them
Example 2:
"joggerjayne" brighton
will find pages which MUST contain 'joggerjayne' and MIGHT also contain 'brighton'
Example 3:
"joggerjane" -brighton
will find pages which MUST include your name but NOT your home town
Example 4:
"joggerjayne" -"night club"
will find pages which MUST have your name but which EXCLUDE 'night club'.
