I was explaining to an adult yesterday that using -x will remove x from his google results. He was stoked! Then he concluded further that he could use +x too!

I hated to have to disappoint him.
- shawn-furyan 10y agoIIRC +x keeps google from returning results that exclude the x term. e.g. "x y z" ~ "x y z" + "x y" + "y z" + "x z" + "x" + "y" + "z" where "+x y +z" ~ "x y z" + "x z" Still, I would imagine this isn't exactly the behavior your friend would have expected.
- tunap 10y agoI was referring to the Google+ fiasco and how + is no longer an operator. Instead, now you have to "quote" "for" "inclusion". https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topicsearchin/websearch/search$20operators/websearch/H4XbbwWmtAY https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topicsearchin/webse...
