Re: Excluding shopping pages when searching the Web with Google

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.

Bryan,

You might try the advanced search. I haven't used it in a while but in the
past you could enter words to omit. For example exclude sites with 'best
price' in their search. It really helps cut down on the clutter. Not
perfect though.

Subject: [PCTECH] Excluding shopping pages when searching the Web with
Google

Is there a way to exclude shopping pages when using Google to search the
web? For example, I often Google a string including the words "MC9090
scanner", which is a common barcode scanner here at ECHO; and the top pages
are all shopping pages when I'm looking for troubleshooting, reference, tips
and techniques, etc. types of pages.

Thanks in advance for any input.
