Question

in Google, how should you phrase your search if you want to exclude a certain word from your results(for example,"chocolate")?

Answer 1

I found this:
ou can exclude words from your search by using the - operator; any word in your query preceded by the - sign is automatically excluded from the search results. Remember to always include a space before the - sign, and none after
