Really comes down to search terminology as such - just my opinion - since it
doesn't omit results, but just ranks them differently.
Primary things to remember are that you can search for phrases by enclosing
them in quotation marks, and you can block out certain results that contain
certain words by using a minus sign, and for certain specific types of
results, there are keywords you can use following them with a colon sign, so
for example:
lyrics "would I lie to you"
twilight series ebooks -amazon
definition: obscurity
Will all return relevantly specific sets of results, and those are just
examples that popped up in my head now - no hidden meanings therein as such.
Stay well

I have tried the accessible version of Google, but found that it was
omitting too many relevant search results of interest.

Hi, Gerald,
I personally like the accessible labs site better than the google site.
It's still google but it's designed with the visually impaired in mind.

Subject: [Blind-Computing] Losing Position On Google Search Results Page
Using Google as my search engine with IE 8 and JAWS 9, I have lately
been encountering an annoying problem on the Google search results page.
Whenever I click on one of the search results using Enter, I am taken to
that page. But when I press Alt-left arrow to return to the Search
Results page, I am taken not to the link I just clicked on, but rather to
the beginning of the search results. Then I have to use header
navigation to return to my original position on the Search Results page.
So, for example, if I select the fifth result on the page, and then
return to the results page, I land at the very beginning of the search
results rather than back at the heading for the fifth result.
Strangely, this behavior doesn't seem to happen if I use Bing or Yahoo as
my search engine. What's going on? Is there some Google setting I need
to adjust so that I am always returned to my original point of origin on
the results page rather than to the beginning of the search results?
Thanks.
Gerald
