NOT


Use the NOT modifier with a word or phrase to exclude documents that show evidence of that word or phrase.

For example, to select only documents that contain the words "cat" and "mouse" but not the word "dog," you would enter:

cat <AND> mouse <AND> <NOT> dog

To search for documents that contain the word "not," enclose the word "not" in double-quotation marks (`). For example, to search for the pharase "love not war," enter any of the following queries.

<ORDER> love "not" war

"love not war"

<PHRASE> (love, "not", war)
