| Ignore Words to Clarify Searches SUMMARY: Keep certain unwanted words or phrases from appearing in your Yahoo! Search results.
Tired of searching for information about apples and getting results about Apple Computer? Looking for information about bass fishing but getting music-related results? To help clarify your searches, Yahoo! Search lets you exclude certain words from your search query.
For example, if you are searching for edible apples, you don't want results containing the word "computer". To perform this search, enter your search query, and preface your ignore words with hyphens to signify that Yahoo! Search should ignore results containing such words.
In the above example, your query could be:
apple -computer
Or you can combine multiple ignore words together:
apple -computer -Macintosh
Or for more exclusions:
apple -computer -macintosh -tunes -fiona -site:apple.com
