If you follow a main search word with others in parenthesis.....say "bar (tiki,witco,bamboo,whatever else might be a desirable buzzword)", it will show you any combination of these words (eg "tiki bar","witco bar", etc.) If you then follow this with a " - " and words to exclude in parenthesis, it will exclude some of the chafe (eg. -(sign,glass,whatever other lame listing associated with "tiki bar" that keeps coming up to plague you). This is a pain in the ass to keep typing in each time you want to search, so you can save the search under your name to keep reusing it. Hope this helps!
