    One of the best things you can do to make it easy on yourself for a
search is to go to google and then to their advanced search.   Here is a
link: http://www.google.com/advanced_search?hl=en     Then you can just use
their page to include or exclude any thing you want.  Hope this is some
help.  I never realized how helpful it was until I saw my boss searching and
he keeps it as his default home page.  He can always find something easier
than me, and I started wondering how.  I watched a few times until i
realized that he wasnot using the regular google page to search.
