Exclude Words From Google Search
1. Open your preferred web browser and go to the Google search page (https://www.google.com).
2. In the search bar, enter your desired search query but prefix the words you want to exclude with a minus (-) sign. For example, if you want to search for information about dogs but exclude anything related to "puppies," you would type: "dogs -puppies".
3. Hit the Enter key or click the "Google Search" button to perform the search.
Google will exclude webpages and search results containing the words you specified after the minus sign (-). This can help refine your search and provide more relevant results. You can include multiple excluded words in a single search query by separating them with spaces and prefixing each with a minus sign.
Keep in mind that excluding words from your search query may affect the overall search results, so use this technique judiciously to ensure you're not inadvertently excluding relevant information.
To exclude specific words from your Google search results, you can use the "-" symbol followed by the word you want to exclude. Here's an example:
If you want to search for information about cats but exclude any results related to "Lion," you can enter the following in the Google search bar:
cats -lion
This will return search results that include information about cats but exclude any pages that mention the word "lion."
You can include multiple excluded words by using the "-" symbol before each word. For example:
cats -lion -tiger -leopard
This will exclude pages that mention "lion," "tiger," and "leopard" from your search results.
Note that excluding words may limit your search results, so use this feature judiciously to ensure you're not inadvertently excluding relevant information.
