Google doesn't use AND and NOT for Boolean searches, it uses the plus
sign and the minus sign. Using them is the second most useful way to
narrow searches usefully. Most useful, imho, is using quotation marks
to delimit a phrase or term instead of each individual word in the
phrase. For example:

[ Olympics village food nutrition ] = 91,700 hits
[ "Olympics village" food nutrition ] = 51 hits
[ "Olympics vllage" -food +nutrition = 10 hits

The plus and minus sign operators help a lot when doing what the OP
was asking about. -aem
