> Negative queries no longer filter all unrelated results. This has been bothering me as well, but has been the case for as long as I know. For those who haven't seen this yet, try: "hacker" "news" -"hackers" The results still include the word "hackers". It's like, the operator had one job, why offer this operator if it's going to ignore it? Note that the quotes are so that it definitely takes every word literally, but you get similar results if you unquote any/all of the words so it doesn't really matter. I don't remember an example query, but in the cases where I needed it the most (it's relatively rare that I have no idea what other keywords might occur and I have to fall back to this negative selection in the first place) it seems to work the least well, often more than half of the results (starting with the top result) include the forbidden word(s). There was also a case where more results included the forbidden word after adding it as an exclusion criterion. I should start writing these down...
