Re: Excluding shopping pages when searching the Web with Google

[John Jones <chianime@xxxxxxxxx>]

You can add -cart to your search queries to omit pages with the work cart on
them.  You can do that for multiple terms.

The minus operator can also exclude sites: -site:amazon.com omits Amazon.com
from search results.  So does -amazon.com, BTW, but that will also filter
out sites that merely refer to Amazon as, say, a place to purchase.

help some.
