Same moron that did something that made my previous Splinter search fail to work. It's been active for 4 or 5 years, then all of a sudden... it comes up with nothing. I've not tried to figure out why, but I had a ton of exclusions to get rid of the repro crap. I expect it has something to do with that.

Just did a quick google search on it and there is a lot of other amazed and displeased people commenting on lots of other forums...
I can't believe they would do something so stupid as this!

So there was a way that allowed to filter out all these crappy things I wouldn't be interested in anyway?

In most any search engine, you can use the minus sign to exclude terms.shoru wrote:So there was a way that allowed to filter out all these crappy things I wouldn't be interested in anyway?
So, for instance at ebay . . .
- Code:
abu jacket -twill
. . would return results with "abu" and "jacket" without the word "twill" in the description.
Works the same with Google Search and others. .
