Why not? I consider sofa and couch to be synonyms. This lets me do two searches in one.

- blueskin_ 12y agoWell, you used to be able to use "sofa" with google, which would exclude 'couch' etc. but then they killed that. Still works with other search engines.
- jpatokal 12y agosofa -couch still works. Also, verbatim mode: https://support.google.com/websearch/answer/142143?hl=en https://support.google.com/websearch/answer/142143?hl=en
- Dylan16807 12y agoWon't sofa -couch exclude pages that have both words?
- spacecowboy_lon 12y agosometimes you dont want that eg try to find solutions for open directory problems on OSX Server (as the docs for OSX server are F%$^ S%^t) you get lost a low quality results about how to make OSX work with Micrsofts AD! if I wanted those results I would search with Acive directoy as part of the flipping query!

It's the effect of this scaled up, for all use-cases Google's cluster can identify, for all users which is bad. It's one of the reasons I use DDG instead of Google these days.
